We specialize in root canal treatments that save your tooth, relieve pain, and restore normal function. A root canal is a procedure used to treat infections or damage to the pulp (inner tissue) of a tooth, often due to deep decay, cracks, or repeated dental procedures.
When is a Root Canal Necessary?
A root canal may be needed if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain
- Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness around the tooth
- Tooth discoloration (darkening)
- Recurring abscesses or gum boils

Pain Management
Some discomfort is normal after a root canal, but it is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Avoid Chewing on the Treated Tooth:
To prevent damage, avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored with a crown or filling.
Maintain Oral Hygiene:
Continue to brush and floss gently around the treated area to promote healing and prevent infections.
Follow-Up Visits:
You may need a follow-up visit to ensure the tooth is healing properly and check for any potential complications.
