Gateway Family Dentistry provides expert root canal therapy to save infected or damaged teeth, eliminate pain, and prevent serious complications with advanced techniques.
A root canal is a common and highly effective procedure used to save a tooth that is badly decayed, infected, or damaged. While progressive tooth decay is the most common cause of root canal need, blunt trauma or injury can also cause the nerve inside your tooth to die. At Gateway Family Dentistry, our skilled endodontists carefully remove the infected or dead nerve tissue from inside your tooth and seal the canal to prevent future infection and abscess formation.
Without prompt treatment, an infected tooth nerve can lead to serious complications. If left untreated, the infection will spread deeper into your gums and jawbone, causing significant swelling, pain, and discomfort that can affect your overall health and quality of life. A root canal stops this progression, eliminates the source of infection, and preserves your natural tooth—allowing you to keep your tooth rather than lose it to extraction.
Many patients worry that root canals are painful, but the truth is that a root canal relieves pain caused by infection. Modern techniques and anesthesia make the procedure comfortable and manageable. Gateway Family Dentistry uses advanced technology and gentle techniques to ensure your root canal experience is as comfortable as possible. In most cases, you'll feel relief from your pain immediately after treatment.

Early treatment can save your tooth and prevent more serious complications. Our caring team is ready to evaluate your symptoms, determine if a root canal is needed, and provide the expert care you deserve.
