Preserve Your Natural Tooth and Relieve Dental Pain
If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, root canal therapy may be the solution. At Herriman Heights Dental Care, we offer this advanced endodontic treatment at our office on the border of Herriman and Daybreak, Utah, helping patients avoid tooth loss and regain their comfort.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. Each tooth contains a soft inner layer called the pulp, which houses nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes infected—due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma—it can lead to significant pain and may eventually require extraction if left untreated.
Root canal therapy allows us to:
- Remove infected or damaged pulp
- Clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth
- Fill the canal with a biocompatible material
- Restore the tooth with a crown for protection
This process helps preserve your natural tooth structure and restores its strength and function.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may be a candidate for root canal therapy if you experience:
- Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling or tenderness near the gums
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
- A bump or pimple-like spot near the affected tooth
Our team will perform a thorough evaluation to confirm whether a root canal is the appropriate treatment for your situation.
Comfortable, Effective Treatment
Modern root canal techniques make this procedure far more comfortable than its reputation suggests. With advanced equipment and effective local anesthesia, most root canals can be completed in one or two visits with minimal discomfort.
After treatment, we typically place a dental crown over the tooth to restore its full strength and appearance. Most patients are able to return to their regular activities the same day.
