Relieve Tooth Pain
A severe toothache doesn’t always mean extraction. At Archstone Dental & Orthodontics in Azle, TX, our goal is to save your natural tooth whenever possible. Root canal therapy removes infection, eliminates pain, and restores the strength of your tooth—all in a safe, comfortable way.
Understanding Root Canal Treatment
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When that tissue becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause intense pain. A root canal removes this damaged pulp, disinfects the area, and seals the tooth, allowing you to keep your natural smile without discomfort.
When to Consider a Root Canal
Common signs that you might need treatment include:
- Severe or throbbing tooth pain
- Pain while biting or chewing
- Long-lasting sensitivity to hot or cold foods
- Gum swelling near one tooth
- A tooth that has turned dark or grayish
The earlier you get treated, the better your chances of saving the tooth and avoiding more complex dental issues.
