During a root canal, we remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent further infection. In many cases, a porcelain crown is placed on top afterward to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
Root canal treatment is almost always more comfortable than the infection it treats, and it allows us to save your natural tooth rather than moving straight to an extraction. Catching decay early during routine cleanings and exams can often prevent the need for a root canal altogether.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity, don’t wait. Call (321) 447-4444 or contact us to schedule an evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include tooth pain, swelling, sensitivity, and bad breath. Since the damage happens inside the tooth, an exam is usually needed to confirm.
Is a root canal painful?
The procedure itself is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. Most patients find root canal treatment far more comfortable than the infection it resolves.
What happens during a root canal procedure?
We remove the infected pulp from inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the area, and seal it, often followed by a crown to restore strength.
Will I need a crown after my root canal?
In many cases, yes. A crown helps protect and strengthen the tooth after the infected pulp has been removed.
Can a root canal save my tooth instead of an extraction?
Yes, a root canal is often used specifically to save a natural tooth rather than moving to an extraction.
Can root canals be prevented?
Catching decay early during routine cleanings and exams can often prevent the need for a root canal altogether.
