Relief from Pain Starts Here
A root canal is a procedure used to treat and save a tooth that’s severely decayed or infected. When the pulp inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause intense pain and sensitivity. During a root canal, we carefully remove the damaged tissue, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent future problems—all while keeping you as comfortable as possible.
Who Might Need a Root Canal?
Root canals are often recommended for patients with deep decay, cracked teeth, or trauma that affects the tooth’s nerve. If you’re experiencing lingering tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity to hot and cold, it could be a sign that root canal therapy is needed. Our Dallas, GA dental team uses advanced technology to diagnose and treat the issue with precision and care.
Why Root Canals Are Worth It
Despite their reputation, root canals are a safe, effective way to avoid tooth loss and serious complications:
-
Relieves pain and discomfort caused by infection
-
Saves your natural tooth, avoiding extraction
-
Prevents the spread of infection to other teeth
-
Restores normal biting and chewing function
-
Strengthens the tooth when followed with a dental crown
