What is a root canal?
Root canal or Endodontics is the discipline in dentistry focusing on saving teeth and helping you maintain your natural smile. Our dentists will diagnose and treat tooth pain as well as performing root canal treatments. When the tooth’s nerve becomes inflamed or infected, either due to trauma or extensive decay, it is likely that tooth will cause tremendous pain. In order to relieve the pain, the infected internal contents of the tooth need to be removed by performing a root canal treatment.
The goal of root canal treatment is to clean out and disinfect the internal dental pulp (arterioles, venules, nerves and tissues) space. This treatment will prevent the tooth from becoming re-infected. Root canal therapy can be completed in one visit.
Endodontic Treatment
Endodontic treatment has a very high success rate. Many patients will choose this method of treatment to try to save their natural teeth. By cleaning and disinfecting the canal inside the tooth’s root, we can save the tooth, place a crown or a cap over your natural tooth, and maintain the integrity of your smile and oral health.

Such as, severe pain while chewing or biting, pimple on or around the gum tissue, hot or cold sensitivity, swollen or tender gums, or a chipped or cracked tooth.
