Getting a root canal may sound scary, but with modern dental techniques and technology, root canals are one of the most successful and pain-free procedures you can get.
Toothaches are painful, and can distract you from living your best life. They can also be a sign of a serious infection. Fortunately, root canal therapy can provide you with the relief you need, and with modern techniques, you won’t feel a thing. Root canals can help restore the health of your tooth, and save you from a tooth extraction down the road.
A root canal can save you from requiring a more invasive procedure, like an extraction.

Root canal therapy is required if your tooth becomes infected, which most often happens one of two ways:
If left untreated, either situation will lead to the infection, decay, and eventual death of your tooth’s pulp. When the infection starts to take hold, you’ll likely begin experiencing an array of symptoms like a toothache, inflamed gums near the tooth, and tooth sensitivity.
Rarely. Root canal therapy is a relatively complex dental procedure. With modern techniques, we do everything in our power to make you as comfortable as possible.
Not only will your mouth be numbed completely, but you can also opt to be sedated during the procedure. Overall, root canal therapy is the best way to alleviate the pain and discomfort of an infected tooth.
Root canal therapy has a success rate of over 95%, making failure very uncommon. Although it’s rare, root canal treatment can fail, and the reason for failure is not always readily apparent. One reason an infection may return is if there is any remaining bacteria or decay left behind that wasn’t removed during the initial root canal. If this happens to you, you’ll need to have another root canal to ensure the infection is completely removed and doesn’t have a chance to return again.
While crowns are generally the best way to protect your tooth after a root canal, and are always the recommendation for your posterior teeth, they are not always necessary. If there is enough enamel left on front teeth that have gotten a root canal, a filling may be used instead of a crown.
Root canal therapy is usually covered, at least in part, by most dental insurance plans. However, it’s always a good idea to get in touch with your insurance provider to gain a thorough understanding of your benefits, and to find out what type of treatments are covered.
