Save Your Tooth with Professional Root Canal Therapy from Your Trusted Dallas Dentist

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. This treatment is essential for saving a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted due to severe decay or infection.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

- Pain Relief: Eliminates the source of tooth pain caused by infection or damage.
- Tooth Preservation: Saves your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction.
- Restored Function: Allows you to chew and speak normally without discomfort.
- Aesthetic Preservation: Maintains the appearance of your natural smile.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

- Severe toothache or pain when chewing
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth
- Darkening of the tooth
- Persistent or recurring pimple on the gums
