When to contact your Endodontist Masking the pain by taking ibuprofen will only worsen your problem. If you experience recurring pain, contact our dentist immediately. Saving a tooth is always better than having it extracted and replaced with something artificial- nothing beats real enamel despite how far technology has come!

If we suspect your tooth's root is in danger, an x-ray can help us confirm that diagnosis. A root canal often takes two appointments to complete; during the first appointment (which lasts around an hour), we use various tools to clean out the infection from deep inside of your tooth and create a space for fillings or dental crowns which are capped onto most of what remains of many teeth after undergoing this procedure with barely anything left on them at all.

When your pulp becomes inflamed or infected, you will begin to feel symptoms. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, please call us to avoid serious complications.
