People often fear root canals\u2026 but they\u2019re not nearly as scary or painful as you might think.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

All of our teeth have at least one root. Depending on the person, and where it is in the mouth, each tooth may have anywhere from one to four roots. These roots extend below the gum line, but sometimes they can become infected. This causes inflammation and a great deal of pain<\/a>. If your tooth’s roots get infected root canal therapy may be able to save your tooth. This treatment involves cleaning out the canals inside the root, removing the abscess, filling the canals, and then capping the tooth with a strong new crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though this procedure is often believed to be painful or at least very uncomfortable, it is actually designed to relieve pain, rather than cause pain. If you suffer from an infection in the root of a tooth we can get you feeling healthy and pain-free again, whether it\u2019s in our office<\/a> or (in more complex cases) through referral to an endodontist (root canal specialist).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
