Root Canal Therapy
Relieving Pain and Saving Natural Teeth
A tooth infection can cause discomfort, sensitivity, and swelling, but it doesn’t always mean the tooth needs to be removed. At Hazel Path Dental, we provide gentle, effective root canal therapy to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth. With advanced technology and a calm, caring approach, our goal is to make treatment comfortable and stress-free.
When a Root Canal May Be Needed
Root canal therapy is recommended when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Common signs you may need a root canal include:
- Persistent toothache or pressure
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness around the tooth
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, prompt treatment can prevent the infection from spreading and save the tooth from extraction.
What to Expect During Treatment
During your appointment, the affected tooth is numbed to ensure complete comfort. Dr. Greives removes the infected tissue, cleans and disinfects the inner canal, and then seals the space to prevent reinfection. The tooth is typically restored with a crown to strengthen and protect it for long-term use.
Most patients find that a root canal feels similar to getting a filling and experience significant relief shortly after treatment.
