Save Your Natural Tooth with Modern Endodontic Care

Save a painful tooth with our painless root canal therapy.

Modern root canal treatment at Karen Dental Clinic is a relief, not a source of pain. Using advanced endodontic techniques and gentle anesthesia, we remove only the infected pulp tissue inside your tooth, disinfect the canals, and seal the space. This stops infection and preserves your tooth, preventing the need for extraction. Thanks to sedation and targeted numbing, most patients report feeling virtually nothing during the procedure

Understanding Root Canal Treatment

Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the soft tissue inside your tooth—the pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue—becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks or chips, or trauma to the tooth.

Rather than extracting the damaged tooth, a root canal allows us to remove the infected pulp, clean the inside of the tooth thoroughly, and seal it to prevent further infection—preserving your natural tooth and restoring its function.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

While some infected teeth present no symptoms, many people experience:

  • Persistent tooth pain, particularly when chewing or applying pressure
  • Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold that lingers after the stimulus is removed
  • Discoloration of the affected tooth
  • Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
  • A recurring pimple on the gums near the painful tooth
  • Deep decay or darkening of the gums

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, prompt evaluation is crucial to prevent the infection from spreading and causing more serious health problems.

Three Key Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

  1. Pain Relief and Infection Elimination: Root canal therapy quickly alleviates the often severe pain caused by pulp inflammation and infection, addressing both symptoms and the underlying cause for immediate and long-term relief.
  2. Natural Tooth Preservation: By saving your natural tooth rather than extracting it, root canal treatment maintains your natural smile, normal biting sensation, efficient chewing ability, and protection of surrounding teeth from excessive wear or strain.
  3. Cost-Effective, Long-Term Solution: Compared to extraction and replacement with implants or bridges, root canal treatment is typically less expensive while providing a solution that, with proper care, can last a lifetime without further intervention.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a root canal painful?
Most discomfort comes from the infection, not the procedure. With modern anesthesia and gentle techniques, it feels similar to a routine filling. Many patients experience immediate relief afterward.
How long does a root canal take?
It typically takes 60–90 minutes over one or two visits, depending on complexity. Our precise approach ensures thorough treatment and lasting results.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
Delaying treatment worsens pain, spreads infection, and risks tooth loss. Extraction is more invasive and costly—preserving your natural tooth is the best option.
How long will my tooth last after a root canal?
With proper care and a crown for protection, a treated tooth can last a lifetime. Good hygiene and regular check-ups keep it strong for decades.
