Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy

Overview

Root canal therapy treats an infected or inflamed tooth pulp to alleviate pain and prevent extraction. Using modern techniques and gentle anesthesia, we ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

  • Severe toothache or throbbing pain

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers

  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums

  • Discoloration or darkening of the tooth

The Procedure

Dr. Johnson will remove the diseased pulp, disinfect the interior chamber and seal the tooth. A crown is typically placed afterwards to restore strength and function.

FAQ
