ROOT CANAL THERAPY

Severe tooth pain or infection doesn’t always mean you have to lose your tooth. Root canal therapy is a safe and effective treatment that allows us to eliminate infection, relieve discomfort, and save your natural tooth. At South Walker Dental, we use advanced technology and a gentle approach to make root canal therapy as comfortable as possible while restoring your oral health.

Root canal therapy is a procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth. The inner pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, can become damaged due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work.

During a root canal, the infected pulp is removed, the space is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection. This preserves your natural tooth and restores its strength and function.

Root canal therapy is a straightforward procedure and often feels similar to getting a filling. At South Walker Dental, your visit will typically include:

Numbing the Tooth

Local anesthesia is used to ensure a pain-free experience.

Access & Cleaning

A small opening is made to remove the infected pulp.

Shaping & Disinfection

The canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.

Sealing the Tooth

The canals are filled with a durable material to prevent reinfection.

Final Restoration

A filling or crown is placed to protect and restore full function.

Root canal therapy does more than relieve pain, it saves your natural tooth and prevents more serious problems. Benefits include:

Pain Relief

Eliminates infection and discomfort

Tooth Preservation

Restored Function

Protects Surrounding Teeth

Long-Term Oral Health

With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and sometimes placing a crown after treatment help ensure long-term success.
