Tooth sensitivity, pain, chipped or cracked teeth, traumatized teeth, and signs of swelling of the gums or face may all be signs that you need a root canal. If you are concerned that you may need a root canal, you can schedule an appointment for endodontic evaluation by calling our office.

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove an infected or inflamed pulp on the inside of a tooth, clean, and seal the area to prevent further infection and save your natural tooth.

An endodontist is a dental specialist who has received extra formal training in treating infected and inflamed teeth. Endodontists perform root canal therapy, root canal retreatments, endodontic surgery, as well as help manage dental trauma injuries and cracked teeth.

You do not need a referral to see an endodontist. You can call and schedule an evaluation with our office at any time.

Infected and Inflamed teeth are often painful. Thankfully root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia and is often completely painless. After treatment, teeth usually feel completely back to normal in just a few days.

Unfortunately, due to poor blood circulation, antibiotics cannot work inside an infected tooth and are usually unhelpful when a tooth becomes infected except when swelling, fever, or other signs of spreading infection occur. Root canal treatment is currently the only method to treat a dental infection and keep your natural tooth

Studies have shown that the survival of teeth with root canal treatment is as high as 97% at 8 years with average success being around to 90% at 15 years.

Most endodontic treatments are completed in one or two visits. In complex cases, more visits may be needed.

Insurance plans vary and many cover some or all of root canal treatment. Our team will be happy to assist you in filing your claim.
