When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, root canal therapy can often save the tooth and eliminate pain without the need for extraction. At District Dental Studio, we use modern techniques and advanced technology to make root canal treatment as comfortable and efficient as possible.

A root canal removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent future infection. In many cases, this treatment can preserve your natural tooth for years—or even a lifetime.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

• Persistent or severe tooth pain

• Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

• Swelling or tenderness around the tooth

• A pimple-like bump on the gums

• Tooth discoloration

• Pain when chewing or biting
