A root canal may sound intimidating, but in reality, it’s one of the most effective ways to relieve pain and save a natural tooth. When infection or inflammation reaches the nerve of a tooth—often due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks—a root canal allows us to clean and seal the area while preserving the structure that remains.

At Wholehearted Dental, we perform root canal therapy with a focus on comfort, clarity, and precision. We’ll explain what we’re seeing, walk you through the procedure, and ensure you’re fully numb and relaxed throughout the process.

Modern root canal therapy is gentle, efficient, and highly successful—and in many cases, it’s what allows us to prevent tooth loss and avoid more complex treatment down the road.
When handled with care, a root canal doesn’t just stop pain—it protects what’s still worth saving.
