How does it work?
Root canal therapy involves treating infections that have reached a tooth’s nerve. Left untreated, you’re at risk of losing the tooth completely. However, a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth for as long as possible.
- 1. We’ll keep you comfortable during the procedure with local anesthetic
- 2. Once you’re numb, we’ll remove the infection, diseased tissue, and the nerve
- 3. Once your tooth is cleaned out and disinfected, we’ll cover it with a filling or crown
Benefits of a root canal
- Prevents infection from spreading to other teeth
- Immediate pain relief
- Protect your jawbone
- Avoids the need for tooth extraction

Frequently Asked Questions
Can root canals be painful?
You’re actually in pain because of an infection, not due to the root canal treatment. You’ll feel relief once the infection is gone. You may experience some swelling and discomfort during your natural healing process after treatment. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to keep you as comfortable as possible during healing.
What causes me to need a root canal?
Tooth decay is a common cause of tooth infection. If you develop an infection, you might experience excruciating pain and swelling, intense sensitivity to hot or cold drinks, and a foul mouth smell.
Can I brush my teeth after a root canal?
After a root canal, it’s important to keep your mouth clean. Brush and floss as instructed and closely follow aftercare instructions to keep bacteria at bay and prevent infection.
