Save Your Tooth
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is designed to save you from losing a tooth. It treats inflamed or infected pulp so you can keep your natural smile.
What is a root canal?
Inside every tooth is the pulp, where the nerve, blood vessels and connective tissue are housed. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal removes the damaged tissue and seals the tooth, saving it from extraction.
Signs you might need a root canal
Toothache
Sharp pain, especially at night, that can lead into a generalized headache.
Abscess
A bump near the top of a tooth or pus in the mouth.

Discoloration
Dark discoloration of the tooth, a sign of a deteriorating pulp.
