Save Your Damaged Tooth With a Root Canal
A root canal treatment can save your tooth from extraction and relieve pain when the inner pulp becomes infected or damaged. Here’s what you can expect during your procedure:
- We’ll take X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition.
- We’ll offer you sedation if desired.
- Your dentist will numb the area we’ll be working on.
- We’ll carefully remove the infected pulp.
- Your dentist will clean and shape the tooth’s canals.
- We’ll fill the tooth with a rubber-like material.
- A temporary filling will be placed on the tooth.
After your root canal, it’s usually best to cap the treated tooth with a crown. This helps prevent future problems and restores the tooth’s strength and appearance. You’ll typically return for a second appointment to receive your crown.
If you feel nervous about dental work, you can rceive laughing gas or oral conscious sedation to help you relax during your procedure. Our office also provides soft pillows, warm blankets, and TVs for a distraction.
You might feel some sensitivity for a few days after root canal treatment, but this typically fades quickly. With proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime, allowing you to keep your natural smile and enjoy pain-free chewing.

Common Questions About Root Canals
-
When the soft inner portion of a tooth (known as the pulp) becomes infected, it can produce intense pain. This can happen as a result of an untreated cavity or an injury to the tooth that allows bacteria inside. A root canal involves removing the diseased pulp, sterilizing the tooth, and sealing it with a rubberlike material and a crown.
-
While they have that reputation, most patients find a root canal no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. The procedure eliminates pain; it doesn’t cause it! We’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia so you don’t feel pain. You may find it easier to relax if you also receive one of our forms of safe dental sedation.
-
Without performing an exam on your mouth, it’s difficult to estimate the total cost of root canal treatment. The cost may be determined by the location of the tooth and the severity of the damage. Plus, we normally recommend capping the repaired tooth with a crown to help strengthen it, so the cost of the crown would need to be figured into the total treatment cost.
