What is a root canal, and why might I need one?

A root canal is a procedure to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside your tooth, relieving pain and preventing further decay or infection. It’s often needed to save a tooth that would otherwise require extraction.

Will a root canal be painful?

Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, root canal treatments are typically no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling. Our team prioritizes your comfort every step of the way.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

If you experience severe pain, swelling, or trauma to your teeth, contact us immediately. We offer same-day appointments for urgent dental issues to provide prompt relief and care.

How do I know if my child needs pediatric endodontic treatment?
