Root Canals
Gentle Care to Relieve Pain and Save Your Tooth
At Davies Dental, we know the words “root canal” can sound intimidating — but modern treatment is nothing like the reputation. A root canal is a safe, effective way to relieve severe tooth pain and save a natural tooth from extraction. We provide selective in-house treatment for straightforward cases and partner with trusted endodontic specialists when advanced care is required, so you’re always in the best hands.
When You Might Need a Root Canal
A root canal is typically recommended if the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected or inflamed. Signs you may need one include:
- Persistent toothache or pain when chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- A dental abscess (pocket of infection)
Prompt treatment not only relieves pain but also prevents the infection from spreading.
What to Expect from Root Canal Treatment
Whether performed in-house or by a specialist, the process is designed to save your tooth and restore comfort:
- Diagnosis
We evaluate your tooth with digital imaging to confirm if a root canal is needed. - Pain Relief
Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is comfortable and virtually pain-free. - Cleaning the Tooth
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. - Sealing & Restoration
The tooth is sealed and typically restored with a crown for strength and protection.
