So a dental root canal is needed sometimes to relieve pain. Usually if the decay starts in the tooth, we’ll treat it with a dental filling. But if that cavity has sat there for too long and the cavity reaches the nerve now, now you’re in direct pain with that nerve, we have to basically kill the nerve and do a root canal to get you out of pain. So a root canal is a good service to help treat an infected tooth or just a broken-down tooth and help you get out of pain.
Stop Your Dental Pain & Keep Your Smile Intact
A root canal may sound intimidating. However, it’s one of the most effective ways to relieve discomfort and avoid losing your tooth. This treatment becomes necessary when an infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth. This often happens due to an untreated cavity, crack, or traumatic injury.
Here’s how we restore your health with expert care:
- Precise Diagnosis – With digital imaging and a thorough exam, our team will confirm if a root canal is the best treatment option.
- Infection Removal – Your dentist carefully cleans out the infected pulp from inside the tooth. This process will relieve your pain.
- Secure Your Tooth – After disinfecting the root canals, the tooth is sealed with a durable, biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
- Final Restoration – In most cases, we finish off your treatment with a custom dental crown. This reinforces your tooth and restores full chewing function.
If you feel anxious about your root canal, we offer three levels of dental sedation to help you stay calm. Opt for laughing gas for mild relaxation, oral conscious sedation in pill form, or IV sedation for deep comfort. You can also bring your own music or use our headphones to stay distracted during treatment.
