A persistent toothache can make it difficult to eat, sleep, or focus on your day. At Davis & Beyer Dental Health Professionals, our priority is to determine what is causing your discomfort and whether the tooth can be saved.
Root canal treatment may be needed when the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen because of deep decay, a crack or injury, or complications involving a previous filling or other dental work.

Root canal treatment—also called endodontic treatment—is a procedure used to treat inflammation or infection inside a tooth.
During treatment, the affected pulp is carefully removed. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned, disinfected, shaped, filled, and sealed. This helps relieve discomfort, address the source of infection, and preserve the natural tooth.
After the root canal is complete, the tooth will usually need a permanent filling or crown to restore its strength and protect it from further damage. Our team will explain which restoration is appropriate for your tooth and coordinate the timing of your follow-up care.

Many root canal treatments can be completed in our office. For more complex cases, we may recommend treatment with an endodontist—a dentist with advanced training in caring for the inside of the tooth.
Our recommendation will depend on factors such as the tooth’s location, the shape of its roots, the extent of the infection, and whether it has been treated previously.
If a referral is needed, we will explain why and help coordinate your care with a trusted specialist. Once the root canal is complete, you can return to our office for your permanent filling or crown and continued dental care.

We understand that many patients feel nervous when they hear they may need a root canal. Modern treatment is performed with local anesthetic, and the procedure is intended to relieve the discomfort caused by an inflamed or infected tooth.
Before treatment, we will walk you through the process and answer your questions. You may notice some tenderness for a few days afterward, especially if the tooth was painful before treatment. We will provide after-care instructions and let you know when to contact us if you have any concern.
