Save Your Natural Tooth & Relieve Tooth Pain

Severe tooth pain or sensitivity can be a sign of infection deep inside your tooth. Root canal treatment is a restorative dental procedure designed to remove infection, relieve discomfort, and save your natural tooth from extraction. At A Plus Dentistry, we provide gentle and effective root canal therapy to help restore your oral health and protect your smile.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or damage inside the tooth. During treatment, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection. In many cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to restore strength and function.

In many cases, a dental crown is recommended after treatment to strengthen and protect the tooth from future damage.
Persistent pain, swelling, tooth sensitivity, or deep decay may indicate that root canal treatment is needed. A dental examination and X-rays can confirm the condition of the tooth.
