You can handle an infected tooth in one of two ways: extract the tooth or remove the infection.

- Your treatment is effective and comfortable

Eliminate Dental Pain With Root Canal Therapy
Restorative dental care is simpler than ever with our advanced technology like 3D imaging and the skills of our two dentists. Root canal procedures are routine for our team and are no more complicated than filling a cavity. Don't believe the myth that root canal procedures are painful. They don't cause pain — they relieve it! We'll numb your mouth with local anesthesia, and you can also receive dental sedation if you'd like.
Your only other option for dealing with an infected tooth is removing it. In many cases, a root canal procedure is the better choice because:
- It preserves your tooth and its root
- It keeps nearby teeth from shifting
- It prevents the bone loss that occurs after tooth removal
- You'll recover more quickly, with fewer special accommodations such as changing your diet
- You'll avoid the expense of tooth replacement
Don't Ignore Signs of Tooth Infection
An infected tooth often, but not always, causes a painful toothache. Other signs your tooth may be infected include:
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling or tenderness of gums
- A tooth that looks darker than usual
- A pimple on your gums

Common Questions About Root Canals
What is a root canal and why is it needed?
A root canal is a procedure to remove infection from inside a tooth's pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. It stops pain and prevents infection from spreading deeper into your bone and gums. Saving the natural tooth through root canal therapy helps maintain chewing comfort and prevents issues that come with tooth removal.
What happens during a root canal procedure?
During a root canal, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, and the space is sealed to prevent reinfection. Local anesthesia makes the procedure comfortable. Advanced imaging enhances precision, and sedation options are available for added relaxation. A crown is typically placed after to strengthen the tooth.
Is a root canal painful?
Contrary to old myths, root canal procedures are generally no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Modern anesthesia and techniques make the treatment comfortable. Many patients find pain relief after the infection is removed. Some mild sensitivity may occur afterward, but it usually fades quickly with proper care.
