Root Canals
Root canals safely remove infection to save your tooth and relieve pain, using modern techniques for a comfortable, long-lasting result.
When a tooth is cracked, broken, or severely decayed, the pulp inside can become infected. Without treatment, this infection can cause an abscess or spread to surrounding teeth. Root canal therapy is a highly successful procedure that involves removing the infected pulp, then cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the tooth from within. Using modern anesthesia, the procedure is comfortable and actually relieves the pain you've been experiencing.
After your root canal, a crown is typically placed over the tooth to protect and strengthen it for many years to come. If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or discoloration, you may need a root canal. Knot that our skilled team is here to help.
