Sometimes, tooth pain or sensitivity is caused by an infection inside the tooth. When this happens, a filling alone won’t solve the problem — that’s where root canal therapy comes in.

A root canal involves gently removing the infected tissue from inside your tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the space, and sealing it with a specialized filling material to prevent future infection. This process not only relieves pain, but also saves your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.

Most root canal treatments can be performed right here in the comfort of our office, so you can receive care from a team you know and trust.
