Root Canal Therapy

Modern Root Canal Therapy to Save Your Natural Tooth

A root canal is often the best way to save an infected or severely damaged tooth. At Cottingham Family Dentistry, we offer gentle, modern root canal therapy designed to relieve pain and restore your oral health with minimal discomfort. Our approach focuses on preserving your natural tooth structure whenever possible and preventing the need for more extensive dental work. With today’s advanced techniques, most patients find the procedure far easier and more comfortable than they expect.

When bacteria reach the inner pulp of a tooth usually due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma it can lead to severe sensitivity, swelling, and pain, and may result in tooth loss without proper treatment. Addressing the infection promptly not only protects your oral health but also helps prevent the spread of bacteria to surrounding tissues.

What Causes the Need for a Root Canal: Deep decay, cracks, trauma, and bacterial infection affecting the inner pulp.

What the Procedure Involves:Removing infected tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the tooth, sealing the canal, and strengthening it with a custom crown.

Why It’s Comfortable: Advanced techniques and local anesthesia make the procedure predictable and comparable to getting a filling.

Your Long-Term Benefits: Preserves your natural tooth, prevents extraction, relieves pain, and helps you avoid more extensive treatments later on.

As a trusted provider of endodontic care, our team prioritizes comfort, communication, and a smooth recovery, helping you maintain your natural teeth for as long as possible.
