What is a Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treatment (also known as root canal therapy) is a safe and effective endodontic treatment used to treat root canal infection inside the tooth. When bacteria reaches inside the tooth, it can cause severe pain, swelling, and damage.
Using state-of-the-art tools, our root canal dentist will clean and disinfect the area, then seal and restore the tooth, often with a dental crown for strength.

- Persistent or shooting toothache that won’t go away
- Swelling in the gums or cheek near a painful tooth
