Root Canals

A root canal is necessary when you have a large cavity, trauma, or fracture on your tooth that reaches the nerve. Often times they will present with pain, but in some instances you can have an infection in the tooth’s nerve with no pain. It is a simple procedure in which we numb your tooth and remove the damaged nerve tissue as well as infection and fill in the nerve canal to prevent future infections and pain.

At East Lake Family Dental we know that root canals can sound scary, but just like with all of our procedures we make sure that you are comfortable and in and out fast. We perform most types of root canals, except on molars and on teeth that need a re-treatment.
