What Is a Root Canal?

Root canal treatment is used to repair and save a tooth that is severely decayed, damaged, or infected. We recommend root canals when the pulp inside your tooth dies, causing painful toothache, swelling, or drainage. During the root canal procedure, the pulp and nerve are removed from the inside of the tooth. The tooth is then cleaned and sealed to prevent future infection.

Without treatment, an infected tooth may require extraction, leading to permanent tooth loss. That’s why it’s essential to seek treatment if you suspect you have an infected tooth or other dental concern. Call us right away to schedule an appointment.

Does a Root Canal Hurt?

Most patients report that a root canal is no more painful than a filling. Rest easy knowing that we take every precaution to ensure that our patients are as comfortable as possible during root canal treatment. We offer both local anesthesia and single-tooth anesthesia to numb your tooth and prevent any potential discomfort.
