Root Canals

An ongoing ache or sharp pain in a tooth, especially triggered by hot or cold, suggests an infection. Look for swelling, a pimple on the gum (abscess), or a darkened tooth. Don’t ignore these signs—talk to a dentist promptly. 

A root canal clears out the infected or inflamed tissue inside a tooth. The canals are cleaned and sealed to stop infection and relieve pain. This treatment saves your natural tooth from extraction, letting you keep chewing on it like normal once it’s healed.
