Relieve Tooth Pain and Save Your Natural Smile
A root canal may sound intimidating, but it’s actually a gentle and effective way to relieve severe tooth pain and save a damaged tooth. At Lubbock Dental Care and Orthodontics, we use advanced techniques to make root canal treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible. This procedure removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, allowing us to preserve its structure and restore your oral health.
When Is a Root Canal Needed?
Root canals are typically recommended when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected—often due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a darkening tooth, a root canal might be the best solution. Acting early can prevent the need for extraction and help you avoid more extensive treatments down the line.
