Root Canals

Clearwater Dreams Dental

Stop the Pain and Save Your Natural Tooth

Root canal therapy is often misunderstood. It is not the cause of pain—it is the cure. When the soft tissue (pulp) inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay or injury, a root canal removes the infection, relieves your discomfort instantly, and allows you to keep your natural tooth.
At Clearwater Dreams Dental, we use modern techniques that make this procedure as comfortable and routine as getting a dental filling. Our goal is to preserve your natural smile and get you back to living pain-free.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a root canal hurt?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you are numb just like you would be for a filling. The pain you feel comes from the infection before the treatment, not the treatment itself.

Why shouldn't I just have the tooth pulled?

Saving your natural tooth is always the best option. It preserves your jawbone structure and prevents other teeth from shifting. Replacements like bridges or implants are effective but often more complex and costly.

What happens after the root canal?

Since the tooth no longer has a blood supply, it can become brittle. We typically recommend placing a dental crown over the tooth shortly after the procedure to protect it and restore its full strength.

How long does the appointment take?

Most root canals can be completed in a single visit of about 60 to 90 minutes. Complex cases might require a second visit.
