What situations would I need a root canal?

You may need a root canal if your tooth is cracked, chipped, has been damaged or infected, or has a deep cavity. Symptoms of a damaged tooth include severe pain when biting, swollen gums, dark gums, and sensitivity. Our dentist will conduct a thorough exam to determine if root canal treatment is necessary.

What is the process of getting a root canal?

Before we start with the root canal procedure, we’ll take an X-ray of the infected tooth so we know what areas to treat. After that, we’ll numb the area and prep the tooth by removing any saliva and bacteria. Then, we’ll make a small incision to expose your tooth’s pulp and infected tissues. Our dentist will carefully remove the decay and kill any infection. To finish the procedure, we’ll fill and seal the tooth and place a crown on top that protects the tooth and restores your smile.

What is aftercare like?

Patients often recover quickly from a root canal. You may experience some discomfort after the treatment, but many patients return to work or school the next day. If you experience severe, lasting pain, let us know, and we’ll take a look.
