Root Canal -- The term "root canal" can cause anxiety, but this modern procedure is a tooth-saving treatment designed to relieve pain, not cause it. A root canal becomes necessary when the soft inner tissue of a tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or injury. During the procedure, we gently remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and then fill and seal it to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then typically protected with a dental crown. A root canal is often the only alternative to extracting a painful, infected tooth. At , we use advanced techniques and effective anesthesia to ensure the entire process is comfortable and efficient. Don't live with a throbbing toothache or risk losing your tooth. Let our compassionate team relieve your pain and save your natural smile with modern root canal therapy.
