When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, prompt treatment is essential to save the tooth and relieve pain. At SmileNOW Dental, our endodontic services are performed with precision and care, using modern techniques to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure to treat infection or damage deep inside a tooth. Contrary to its reputation, modern root canal therapy is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. The procedure removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection — all while keeping your natural tooth intact.
Signs You May Need Endodontic Treatment
- Persistent or severe toothache
- Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums
- A persistent pimple or abscess on the gum
