What is Root Canal Therapy?
A root canal is a specialized dental intervention designed to address and preserve severely infected or damaged teeth. The term “root canal” specifically refers to the natural cavity within the tooth’s center, housing the nerve and pulp. When this area becomes compromised due to factors like decay or injury, a root canal becomes imperative to relieve pain and prevent further complications. Our highly skilled dentists employ a meticulous process, removing the infected and damaged tissues from within the tooth, thoroughly cleaning it, and filling it with medicinal material to restore optimal health and eliminate the need for extraction. To complete the restoration, a dental crown is often placed over the treated tooth, restoring both its original form and structural integrity. In the majority of cases, this procedure can be comfortably completed in just one or two visits to our office.
Despite its historical association with discomfort, modern advancements in methods, equipment, and anesthesia have significantly minimized the potential for pain during root canal therapy. When you visit our office, our dentists and the entire dental team are dedicated to ensuring your comfort and making you feel welcome at every step. If you seek more information about root canal therapy or wish to discuss your specific dental needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our ultimate goal is to rejuvenate your smile and promote optimal oral health.

- Persistent Tooth Pain: Unexplained and persistent toothache, especially during chewing or application of pressure.
- Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: Increased sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the stimulus is removed.
- Swollen Gums: Swelling and tenderness in the gums surrounding the affected tooth.
- Darkening of the Tooth: Discoloration or darkening of the tooth, indicating potential damage to the nerve.
