Saving Teeth
A root canal has a worse reputation than it deserves. For most patients it is the treatment that ends the pain, not the cause of it, and it lets you keep a tooth that would otherwise have to come out.
When decay or injury reaches the soft nerve inside a tooth, the tissue becomes inflamed or infected and often very painful. A root canal removes that tissue, disinfects the space, and seals it, so the tooth can stay right where it is.
Modern techniques and thorough numbing mean the procedure itself feels a lot like having a filling done. Most of our patients are surprised by how routine it is, and relieved by how much better they feel afterward.
A treated tooth can become brittle, so we usually finish with a crown to protect it. With that protection in place, a root-canal-treated tooth can last for many years.
Most root canals are completed comfortably in one to two visits.
