Expert Root Canal Therapy in Redlands
Same-Day Relief • Comfortable Care • In-Office Endodontist
What is a root canal?
A root canal removes infected tissue inside a tooth to relieve pain and save the tooth. Our specialist, Dr. Fowler, visits our office weekly to ensure your treatment is thorough and comfortable.
Who needs a root canal?
You may need endodontic treatment if you’re experiencing any of the following:
-
Persistent toothache or sensitivity
-
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
-
A darkened or discolored tooth
-
A pimple-like bump on the gum
-
Pain when chewing or biting
These symptoms may indicate infection or damage within the tooth. Without treatment, the issue can spread and lead to more serious complications—or even tooth loss.
Your Treatment Journey
If you’re a candidate for root canal therapy, here’s what the process typically involves:
-
Diagnosis & Local Numbing: We’ll take X-rays and use local anesthesia so you’ll feel calm and numb.
-
Cleaning & Shaping: We remove infection, shape the canal, and rinse with sterile solutions.
-
Sealing: We fill the cleaned root canals with a rubber-like material and a special sealer to protect the tooth and help it heal properly.
-
Restoration: We apply a custom crown or permanent filling so you can eat and smile with confidence.
Most patients report feeling immediate relief after treatment and return to their normal routine shortly afterward.
What to expect:
-
Comfort: Minimal discomfort; most patients say they felt “instant relief”.
-
Time: 1-2 visits, ~60-90 minutes total.
-
Recovery: Mild soreness manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
