Root Canal Therapy

When tooth infection and decay has gone untreated for some time, the interior of the tooth can become compromised. This infection can cause serious discomfort for patients and eventually kill the tooth, requiring extraction. Sometimes a tooth can be saved from an extraction by using root canal therapy. If there is a good chance that we can save a permanent tooth, our dentist will recommend this treatment before an extraction. Root canal therapy is an effective treatment that has helped save many teeth and preserve them for years to come!

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Whenever decay is found in a tooth early, the decay can be removed easily in most cases and a tooth can be preserved with a filling. However, if decay spreads throughout the tooth it will put the tooth at greater risk of needing an extraction. If the decay in the tooth reaches the pulp inside of the tooth, it can cause pain and infection. This often needs to be treated in order to save the tooth from extraction. Root canal therapy is a treatment that removes all of the decay and infection from within a tooth without removing the tooth itself. With root canal therapy, your dentist will make sure you are completely comfortable before beginning treatment with sedation and anesthetic. Then all signs of decay and infection will be removed from inside and out of the tooth. The tooth will be cleaned and the health preserved. A dental crown will be needed to cover and protect the tooth following this procedure. Typically, when the right procedure is performed, patients experience an end to their tooth pain and can return to a normal lifestyle again.

Prevent Infection

Regular dental check-ups can help you avoid root canal therapy and tooth extractions. By seeing your dentist on a regular basis, your teeth and gums can constantly be checked for decay and infection. When caught early, you can avoid these complications all together.

From the moment I walked in, the process was smooth and stress-free. The staff is incredibly welcoming, helpful, and respectful—they made me feel safe, heard, and understood. One of the things I really appreciate is how professional and knowledgeable the dentist is. I never feel pressured or upsold on anything unnecessary, which builds a lot of trust.

The office itself is gorgeous—modern, clean, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology and excellent hygiene practices. The convenient location, easy parking, and flexible hours make visits even easier. It’s also a huge plus that the staff speaks Spanish and Portuguese!

I recently decided to get my teeth whitened here, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision—the results exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad I found Ingleside Family Dental. Highly recommend!

I needed a wisdom tooth removed and I have a phobia of losing teeth but the entire team went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable with the procedure and explained the process clearly. My favorite part was when I got to put on my favorite music! It settled my nerves completely and was able to get the tooth removed with no pain! Thank you again to everyone at Ingleside Family Dental you guys rock!

I have had such a wonderful experience here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful!! I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10 years and was terrified to come. Dr Matthew and Kim and Mary have all been fantastic. I had to have deep cleanings to get my oral health back on track and they have taken such great, gentle care of me.
I will recommend this office to any and everyone looking for kind, efficient, and friendly dental care! 💓💕🫶🏻
