Root Canal Treatments

Saving Your Natural Smile

Root canal treatments focus on treating the inside of your tooth to save it from damage, infection, or decay. When the soft tissue inside your tooth, called the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, injury, or trauma, a root canal is often the best way to relieve pain and restore your tooth’s health.

At Sweet Tooth Dental, we know the idea of a root canal can feel intimidating, but modern techniques make the procedure straightforward and comfortable. Our goal is to provide gentle, effective care that helps preserve your natural tooth while keeping you at ease every step of the way.

When Might You Need a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
• Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot or cold.
• Swelling or tenderness in your gums near a specific tooth.
• A tooth that feels loose, darkened, or discolored.
• Cracks, chips, or cavities that have caused significant damage.

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to serious issues, like infections or abscesses, that may eventually require an extraction.

What Happens During a Root Canal?
Here’s what to expect:
1. Diagnosis & Comfort: We’ll assess your tooth using advanced diagnostics, and local anesthesia ensures you feel no discomfort.
2. Cleaning the Canals: The inflamed or infected pulp is gently removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
3. Sealing & Protection: The canals are sealed to prevent reinfection, and in most cases, a crown is placed to protect and restore the tooth.

Why Choose a Root Canal?
Saving your natural tooth is always the best option. A root canal treatment preserves your tooth structure, maintains normal biting function, and prevents the need for more extensive treatments like extractions or implants.
