We Relieve Pain and Save Damaged Teeth with Root Canal Treatment

Have you read or heard anecdotal stories that root canals are painful? We aren’t in the 1960s. Modern root canals are virtually painless. We’ll administer local anesthetics before the procedure to ensure a painless experience. Modern anesthetics are powerful and remain effective throughout the treatment. However, we understand that not all patients are created equal. If you have dental anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry to keep you relaxed during treatment.

After a root canal, you’ll likely experience mild sensitivity, pain, and swelling. Our team will give post-op instructions to soothe pain and prevent health complications. It usually takes a few days to recover from a root canal. However, if you experience persistent pain and sensitivity, visit our office for prompt evaluation. 

When dental infections are not treated, teeth eventually die and need extraction. Many patients believe removing an infected tooth is the best solution, but it leads to more significant and costly oral health problems. When we extract the tooth, the gap left affects oral function, aesthetics, and confidence. Over time, the nearby teeth shift, causing bite misalignment. 

Although you can replace your extracted tooth with an implant or bridge, these options are expensive and require ongoing maintenance. Opting for a root canal preserves your natural tooth, helping you avoid the complications and costs associated with tooth loss and replacements.
