The pulp inside your tooth can become infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. Symptoms of pulp infection include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, and swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums. If left untreated, this infection can cause abscesses, leading to more severe health issues. A root canal may be necessary to remove the infection, “save” the tooth, and preserve its function.
Our experienced dental team uses the latest technology to ensure your root canal procedure is as painless and efficient as possible. We prioritize your comfort and will thoroughly explain the process, so you know exactly what to expect.
