What Is a Root Canal?
Root canal therapy—also known as endodontic treatment—is a procedure to remove infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth’s root canals, relieving pain and preserving the natural tooth.
At Mason Dental, our experienced team—including Dr. Gary “Randy” Middleton II, oversees the procedure to ensure precise treatment and optimal outcomes for every patient.
Why You Might Need Root Canal Treatment
Common signs that indicate you may need root canal therapy:
- Persistent or severe tooth pain, especially while biting
- Heightened sensitivity to heat or cold
- Tooth discoloration or darkening
- Swollen, tender gums around the tooth
- Rather than removing the tooth, a root canal allows us to eliminate the infection and restore your natural smile, often avoiding the need for extraction!
