Root Canal Therapy
Relieve pain and save your natural tooth.
What is a Root Canal?
Root canal therapy is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. Aside from relieving pain, the procedure saves the tooth and prevents the need for extraction.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure.
- Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold temperatures.
- Discoloration (darkening) of the tooth.
- Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums.
Modern root canal treatment is very similar to a routine filling and usually can be completed in one or two appointments.
