Root canal & tooth pain

Care for tooth pain and infected teeth.

Tooth pain often has a clear cause. A calm, prompt exam is the fastest way to understand it — and root canal therapy is often more comfortable than patients expect.

§ 01

When a root canal may be recommended

When the inner tissue of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed — from decay, a cracked tooth or trauma — a root canal removes the affected tissue and preserves the tooth structure.

§ 02

How treatment helps preserve the tooth

The goal is always to keep your natural tooth in place whenever it's the right long-term choice. A root canal followed by a well-fitted crown can last for many years.

§ 03

What happens after treatment

Most patients return to normal activities quickly. We'll give clear post-treatment instructions and follow up to make sure everything is healing as expected.
