Root Canal

Save Your Tooth, Stop the Pain

If you're experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around a tooth, you may need a root canal. At Santo Dental Group, we understand that "root canal" can sound scary—but the truth is, this treatment relieves pain rather than causing it.

A root canal removes infected or damaged tissue from inside your tooth, eliminating the source of your discomfort and allowing you to keep your natural tooth for years to come.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When decay, cracks, or trauma allow bacteria to reach the pulp, it becomes infected and inflamed—causing pain that can range from dull aching to sharp, throbbing discomfort.

During root canal therapy, we gently remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inner chambers of the tooth, then seal it to prevent reinfection. Most teeth are then restored with a crown to protect and strengthen them.

We use modern techniques and local anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients report that a root canal feels no different than getting a regular filling.
