Modern Root Canals Are Comfortable & Effective

A root canal removes infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside the tooth, then cleans, shapes, and seals the canal. A crown is typically placed afterward to protect the tooth long-term. The procedure itself is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal
  • Persistent severe toothache
  • Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold
  • Darkening of the tooth
  • Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums
  • A pimple-like bump on the gum (abscess)
