What to Expect During a Root Canal

Root canal procedures are straightforward treatments in most cases. The appointment runs a bit longer than filling a cavity and involves cleaning out the canals below your teeth where the roots sit. Local anesthesia is used to ensure you don’t feel a thing during the procedure. Afterward, our dentists will discuss the best options to protect the tooth from further damage.

What Causes a Root Infection?

Various causes can lead to root infection. Insufficient brushing, gum disease, and trauma to the mouth are all frequent causes of infected roots.
