What is Endodontic Therapy?

Endodontic therapy—commonly known as a root canal—treats infection inside the tooth by removing the damaged pulp, disinfecting the space, and sealing it to prevent reinfection. This procedure relieves pain, saves your natural tooth, and restores its function and appearance—often avoiding the need for extraction or more extensive treatments.

It’s a safe, effective way to preserve your smile and protect your long-term oral health. Think you may need a root canal? Contact Fortson Dentistry to schedule your evaluation!

What to Expect During a Root Canal

Step 1: Diagnosis & X-Rays

We start with a detailed exam and X-rays to pinpoint the infection, evaluate tooth damage, and determine if a root canal is the best treatment option for you.

Step 2: Anesthesia for Comfort

To ensure a pain-free experience, we gently numb the area with local anesthesia, so you’ll remain completely comfortable throughout the entire procedure.

Step 3: Cleaning & Sealing

The infected pulp is removed, and we carefully clean and disinfect the root canals. The space is then sealed to prevent bacteria from reentering the tooth.

Step 4: Restoration

We complete the treatment by placing a filling or crown to restore the tooth’s strength, protect it from further damage, and return normal function and appearance.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Lingering pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen or tender gums, tooth discoloration, or a pimple-like bump on the gums could all be signs of infection or an abscess. These symptoms suggest that the inner pulp of your tooth may be damaged or infected. Without treatment, the infection can spread and lead to serious dental or bone complications.

Root canal therapy can relieve your pain, save the tooth, and restore your oral health before the issue worsens. Noticing these signs? Call Fortson Dentistry today for a prompt evaluation and relief!
