Save Your Natural Tooth with Root Canal Therapy
A root canal is a common dental procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected, inflamed, or severely damaged. Many patients associate root canals with discomfort, but modern root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain — not cause it. At Ace Family Dental, our goal is to eliminate infection, relieve discomfort, and help patients preserve their natural teeth whenever possible.
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracked teeth, trauma, large fillings, or repeated dental procedures, a root canal may be recommended to save the tooth.
The procedure removes the infected tissue, disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to help prevent future infection.
Common symptoms include:
Some patients may have no symptoms at all. An examination and digital X-rays are needed to determine if treatment is necessary.
Root canals are often recommended when infection or pain is present and may be considered urgent treatment. If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or signs of a dental abscess, contact our office immediately.
We offer same-day evaluations when possible to help you get relief quickly. Visit our emergency dental care page for more information.

I was able to get an appointment that Monday and when I went in, I was taken back on time for my appointment and the staff was friendly and informative. Dr Rakesh was very patient and kind with me, plus gave me all the information I needed to know about my tooth. I would definitely recommend this practice.”
