At Gentle Family Dental Care, our team provides root canal treatments designed to alleviate pain and preserve your natural teeth. This procedure, often essential when the tooth pulp becomes inflamed or infected, involves cleaning the tooth’s interior and sealing it to prevent further damage. Despite common misconceptions, our advanced techniques and use of local anesthesia make the process no more uncomfortable than receiving a standard filling. Post-treatment, you might experience mild sensitivity, but this is temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
Our priority is to ensure the procedure is comfortable, successful, and results in the long-term preservation of your tooth’s health and function. If you’re experiencing a severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling and tenderness in the gums, you might need a root canal. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss your symptoms and treatment options.
