WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?
A root canal (also called endodontic therapy) treats infection or inflammation inside a tooth’s root.
When bacteria reach the tooth’s inner pulp — often through deep decay, cracks, or trauma — the tissue becomes inflamed or infected, leading to pain and potential tooth loss if left untreated.
During a root canal, Dr. David:
Gently removes the infected tissue
Cleans and disinfects the inner canals
Fills the space with a biocompatible sealing material
Restores the tooth with a custom crown for long-term protection
This treatment eliminates infection, relieves pain, and saves your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction or implants.

SIGNS YOU MIGHT NEED A ROOT CANAL
You may need endodontic therapy if you experience:
Persistent tooth pain or pressure
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swelling or tenderness near the gums
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
A small pimple or abscess on the gums
Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
Even if pain subsides, infection can persist and spread so prompt evaluation is important.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the procedure feels, often comparable to a routine filling. Afterward:
Mild tenderness is normal for 24–48 hours
Over-the-counter pain relief is usually all that’s needed
You can resume normal activities the same day
Once fully restored with a crown, your treated tooth should function and feel just like a natural one.
