Why You Might Need a Root Canal
When bacteria reach the pulp of a tooth—due to deep decay, fractures, or trauma—you may experience sensitivity, swelling, or severe pain. A root canal removes the infection, relieves discomfort, and seals the tooth so it can keep functioning for years to come.
Comfort Comes First
Modern root canals feel similar to getting a filling. We use local anesthetic, gentle instrumentation, and calming chairside manner to ensure you stay relaxed throughout the visit.
