At Happy Smiles Dental Group, Inc., we specialize in gentle and effective root canal treatment to save infected or damaged teeth. If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, a root canal can eliminate infection, relieve discomfort, and restore your tooth’s function.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a procedure to remove infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth. The inner chamber is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection. This treatment preserves the natural tooth, eliminates pain, and restores strength, avoiding the need for extraction.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Pain Relief: Eliminates discomfort caused by deep infection.
- Saves Natural Teeth: Prevents the need for extraction.
- Restores Function: Allows normal chewing and speaking.
- Prevents Infection Spread: Stops bacteria from affecting other teeth or gums.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: Strengthens the tooth for years to come.
- Improves Oral Health: Reduces the risk of further complications.
