Root Canal Therapy
A sore tooth doesn’t have to mean losing it.
When a deep ache won’t go away, it’s easy to assume the worst. Maybe you’ve been avoiding certain foods. Maybe the pain wakes you up. But the truth is—even when things feel serious, your tooth might still have a future.
Root canal therapy is designed for situations just like this. Instead of pulling the tooth, it clears out the infected tissue inside and keeps the healthy part in place. You keep your natural bite. You keep your smile. And you leave with less pain—not more.
Treat what’s hurting—protect what’s healthy.
Inside every tooth is a small space filled with nerves and tissue. When that space becomes inflamed or infected—from a cavity, a crack, or past trauma—a root canal steps in. It gently clears the infection, fills the space, and seals things up.
This helps:
• Ease pain and pressure
• Stop the spread of infection
• Keep the tooth in place
• Avoid a more complex (and costly) replacement
It’s not a patch job. It’s a solid fix that gives your tooth a real second chance.
Carefully done—with comfort in mind from start to finish.
Your dentist will start by looking closely at what’s going on—sometimes with x-rays, sometimes just a gentle tap test. If a root canal is needed, you’ll be walked through the plan.
You can expect:
• Local freezing to make things easier
• Careful removal of the infected pulp
• Cleaning, shaping, and sealing the inner space
• A crown or filling to strengthen the outside
The appointment usually takes a bit longer than a standard filling. But the relief, for many people, is noticeable—and fast.
