Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment in Tyler, TX

Extreme tooth pain can be unbearable. At the Tyler Center for Dental Health, we offer root canal treatment, which can end your pain and help you get your life back. Without an agonizing toothache.

Signs you may need a root canal. You may need a root canal if you have deep tooth decay from a cavity, tooth injury, or broken tooth.

Common symptoms include:

  • Severe tooth or gum pain

  • Gum swelling

  • Recent sensitivity to hot and cold

  • Cracked or chipped tooth

The Root Canal Process

If your tooth or gum is sensitive, in pain, or you have another concerning symptom, call us to schedule an exam.

Dr. Josh will take x-rays of your mouth to see deep inside your tooth to find the source of the problem. He will then explain your options and help you understand the procedure, cost, and recovery time. If you are comfortable moving forward, we can make an appointment for the treatment.

Root canal treatment is usually pretty straightforward. And typically painless, although you will likely feel pressure during the procedure.

​​​​​​​Here’s the process:

  • Numb the area

  • Make a small hole in the top of the tooth

  • Remove damaged tooth pulp

  • Kill harmful bacteria by filling the space inside your tooth with medication

  • Cover the hole inside your tooth with a filling to prevent infection
