Root Canal Therapy

In the past, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you would probably lose that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called root canal treatment, your tooth can be saved. Root canals are a relatively simple procedure involving one to three office visits. Best of all, having a root canal when necessary can save your tooth and your smile!

Teeth that require endodontic therapy do not always feel painful. However, signs you may need a root canal include:

• Severe toothache

• Pain upon chewing or application of pressure

• Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold

• Dark discoloration of the tooth

• Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
