Save Your Natural Tooth with Gentle, Comfortable Care
Hearing the words “root canal” can sound intimidating — but at M&R Dental Family in Naples, Florida, we make the process comfortable, stress-free, and surprisingly simple. A root canal is a routine, tooth-saving treatment that stops pain, eliminates infection, and helps you keep your natural tooth for years to come.
What Is a Root Canal?
Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause pain, swelling, or sensitivity.
A root canal treatment removes the damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future infection. Once treated, your tooth is restored with a beautiful dental crown that strengthens and protects it — allowing you to bite and chew normally again.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Persistent tooth pain or throbbing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- A darkened or discolored tooth
- A pimple-like bump near the gum line
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an exam as soon as possible. Prompt treatment not only relieves pain but also prevents further complications or tooth loss.
The Root Canal Procedure — Step by Step
Our caring team at M&R Dental Family ensures that every step of your root canal is performed with comfort and precision:
- Comprehensive Exam: We take digital X-rays to evaluate the affected tooth and confirm the infection.
- Local Anesthesia: We gently numb the area so you feel completely comfortable during the procedure.
- Cleaning & Disinfection: The infected pulp is removed, and the root canal is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.
- Restoration: A custom-made dental crown is placed to restore your tooth’s natural strength and appearance.
Most patients compare the experience to getting a simple filling — quick, easy, and pain-free.
