Root Canals

End the Pain. Save the Tooth. Get Back to Feeling Like Yourself Again

If you’re experiencing a persistent toothache, swelling, or sensitivity to hot and cold, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with an infection inside your tooth. At Tidelands Dental, we understand that the words “root canal” can cause anxiety — but we’re here to change that.

Our gentle, modern root canal therapy is designed to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and preserve your natural tooth — without discomfort, judgment, or a referral across town.

What Is a Root Canal

A root canal is a procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth — specifically the pulp (nerve) and root canals — and then seals it to prevent further infection.

A deep cavity
A cracked or broken tooth
A dental abscess
Pain that lingers after hot or cold foods
Swelling or pressure around a tooth
A tooth that’s darkened or discolored

Root Canal Symptoms to Watch For

Throbbing toothache or pain when chewing

Sudden sensitivity to temperature

Gum swelling or tenderness

A small pimple or bump on the gums

Discoloration of the tooth

What to Expect During Treatment

Evaluation & Imaging

We’ll use digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection and confirm the need for a root canal.

Gentle Numbing & Sedation (If Needed)

We prioritize comfort. Most patients compare the experience to getting a regular filling.

Cleaning & Sealing the Tooth

The infected tissue is removed, the canals are disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future issues.

Restoration with a Crown

After a root canal, we’ll place a custom crown (usually in a follow-up visit) to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
