Root Canal Therapy in Mooresville, NC – Pain Relief with a Gentle Touch

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a treatment used to remove infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth). This prevents the infection from spreading and eliminates the need for tooth extraction.

A root canal procedure involves:

• Removing infected pulp and cleaning the canals
  
• Disinfecting and sealing the inner tooth
  
• Placing a custom dental crown to restore function and strength
  

Thanks to digital imaging and local anesthesia, the experience is often as routine as getting a dental filling.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

Root canal therapy is recommended when the tooth’s inner pulp becomes infected due to:

• Deep tooth decay
  
• Cracked or chipped teeth
  
• Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
  
• Injury or trauma
  
• Advanced gum disease
  

Common Symptoms of Pulp Infection:

• Persistent toothache or sensitivity
  
• Pain when biting or chewing
  
• Swollen gums near a tooth
  
• Darkening of the tooth
  
• A pimple-like bump on the gums
  

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't delay. Our team provides Emergency Dental Care to relieve pain quickly and restore oral health.

Our Root Canal Process

Step 1: Digital X-Rays & Diagnosis

We use low-radiation digital X-rays to assess the extent of damage and determine if a root canal is the best course of action. This technology allows for faster, more precise diagnosis with minimal discomfort.

Step 2: Gentle Numbing & Sedation Options

Comfort is always our priority. We numb the area thoroughly with local anesthesia and, for anxious patients, offer options through our Sedation Dentistry services to ensure a stress-free experience.

Step 3: Root Canal Treatment

Our doctors remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the canals, and then seal the tooth to prevent future infection. Most root canals are completed in just one visit, depending on the severity of the infection.

Step 4: Tooth Restoration with a Crown

To protect your tooth long-term, we typically recommend a custom dental crown placed on top of the treated tooth. This strengthens and restores full function and appearance.
