A Root Canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed, cracked, traumatized or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
Sometimes no symptoms are present; however, signs to look for include:
Severe toothache pain upon chewing or
application of pressure
Prolonged sensitivity/pain to heat or
cold temperatures (after the hot or cold has been removed)
Discoloration (a darkening) of the
tooth
Swelling and tenderness in the nearby
gums
A persistent or recurring pimple on the
gums

“Great experience! I hadn’t been to the dentist in years, but they were very understanding and put me at ease. Everything was prompt and efficient and everyone was very friendly.”

Referred by a friend who raves about this dentist. I was not disappointed. First impressions are the best impressions. I was very pleased with the service. My teeth felt like new after the cleaning.

I had never had a good dental experience until meeting Dr. Barli! I love all of the staff at Million Smiles Dental and recommend them to everyone. I just took my son today and he loved every minute.
