Relieve Your Tooth Pain Today!
If you are experiencing tooth or gum pain, it could be due to an infected pulp. Dr. Davidson can perform a root canal to address the infection, alleviate pain, and preserve your natural tooth.
What Is A Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected in its pulp. The pulp, located at the tooth’s core, contains blood vessels that aid in the tooth’s development. Infection can result from various issues such as trauma, severe decay, cracks, or repeated dental treatments. Common signs of an infected pulp include gum swelling, pain while chewing, or sensitivity to hot and cold. In some cases, the tooth may hurt spontaneously or not at all.

How Is A Root Canal Performed?
If you experience symptoms of pulp infection, we typically suggest a non-surgical root canal to address the issue. The procedure involves removing the damaged pulp, thoroughly cleaning, and sealing the root canal. You get to keep your tooth and tooth roots! This treatment may require one or more visits, depending on the severity of the infection. The success rate for root canals is approximately 90%.
To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia, and if necessary, we also offer nitrous oxide to help manage anxiety. Most patients are able to drive themselves home and resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
