Relieve Pain. Restore Health. Preserve Your Natural Smile.
Tooth pain can affect your daily life, from eating and speaking comfortably to simply getting a good night’s rest. When the inner part of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, root canal therapy—also called endodontic treatment—is often the best way to relieve discomfort, remove infection, and save your natural tooth.
Root canals have come a long way in recent years. With today’s techniques and technology, the procedure is safe, straightforward, and far more comfortable than many expect.
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. If decay, deep cavities, trauma, or cracks reach the pulp, it can become inflamed or infected. A root canal involves removing the damaged pulp, carefully cleaning the root canals inside the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
This process helps preserve your tooth’s structure, maintain your natural bite, and eliminate the source of pain—all while avoiding extraction.
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, endodontic treatment may be necessary:
✓ Severe toothache or spontaneous pain that doesn’t go away
✓ Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, even after the source is removed
✓ Tenderness or swelling around the tooth or gums
✓ Discoloration or darkening of a tooth
✓ A cracked, broken, or heavily decayed tooth
✓ A small bump (abscess) on the gums near a tooth
It’s important not to delay care—treating an infected tooth promptly can prevent more serious issues and protect your overall health.
