Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Treatment in Little Rock, AR

Root canals aren’t what you’ve heard.

Most people are surprised by how comfortable a modern root canal actually is. It’s a way to save a tooth that would otherwise need to come out — and it usually gets you out of pain, not into it. We’ll take care of you gently and explain every step.

Saving a tooth, comfortably

A root canal treats the inside of a tooth when it’s been damaged by deep decay, a crack, or infection. We clean out the inflamed or infected tissue from inside the tooth, seal it, and protect it — usually with a crown — so you can keep your own tooth instead of losing it.

The reputation root canals have is mostly out of date. With modern techniques and proper numbing, the procedure itself is generally comfortable. The pain people associate with “root canal” is almost always the pain that brought them in — and the procedure is what relieves it.

Frequently asked questions

Will it hurt?

With modern techniques and thorough numbing, a root canal feels much like getting a filling. It’s the treatment that relieves the pain — not the thing that causes it.

Why not just pull the tooth?

Keeping your natural tooth is usually better for chewing, for the alignment of your other teeth, and often for cost — a pulled tooth usually needs to be replaced with something.

How many visits does it take?

Often one or two, depending on the tooth. A crown to protect the tooth afterward may be a separate visit.

What happens after?

The tooth may be a little tender for a few days, and we’ll usually protect it with a crown. After that, you care for it like any other tooth.

In pain? Don’t wait it out.

Call us — we’ll get you comfortable, explain every step, and save the tooth if we can.
