Root Canal Therapy

Root canals have a bad reputation. But at Allwood Dental, we want you to know that they don’t have to be traumatic. And, having one could keep you from losing a tooth. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could mean the nerve of your tooth is exposed or infected:

• a severe toothache
• pain when chewing or when pressure is applied
• prolonged sensitivity to temperatures
• dark discoloration of the tooth
• swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums

Our friendly staff will provide you with a comfortable experience so you can walk out of our office free from any pain.

• Pain when you apply pressure to a tooth (e.g. biting)

• A tooth begins to darken in color

• Your gums feel tender or swollen

• A small bump on your gums that won’t go away

• Increased or lingering sensitivity to cold or heat
