Endodontics

One of the worst types of pain people have can be related to their teeth. A root canal is a treatment that gets you out of pain and saves a tooth when the inside (called the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed—usually from a deep cavity, crack, or injury. Instead of removing the tooth, we clean out the infection, fill it, and seal it to keep it healthy. It might sound scary, but root canals actually relieve pain, not cause it—and they help you keep your natural tooth for years to come! If you get a skin infection of your hand, you don't remove you hand, you clean and disinfect it, just like a root canal does for your tooth!
