Restoring Your Smile's Health and Integrity
If you're experiencing intense tooth pain, root canal therapy may be the most effective way to find relief and save your natural tooth from extraction.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal
While a definitive diagnosis requires a dental exam, certain symptoms strongly indicate that a root canal may be necessary. Please contact us immediately if you are experiencing:
Intense, persistent tooth pain
Pain so severe that it keeps you up at night
Noticeable swelling in the gums or face
A pimple-like bump on the gums, which may release pus or blood
Significant discoloration of a single tooth
Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
The Root Canal Process Explained
Root canal therapy involves carefully removing the infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth), then cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the inner chambers of the tooth. After the procedure, the tooth is typically protected with a dental crown to restore its full strength and function.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure itself should not be painful, as we use effective local anesthesia to completely numb the tooth and surrounding area. The purpose of a root canal is to relieve the significant pain caused by the infection. Patients often feel much better after the treatment is complete.
If an infected tooth is left untreated, the infection can spread to other parts of your body, the pain will likely worsen, and you will almost certainly lose the tooth. It's crucial to treat the infection as soon as possible to protect your overall health.
It is normal to experience some mild soreness and sensitivity for a few days following the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication. We will provide you with a complete set of aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
