Root canals have a reputation for being painful, but the procedure is actually designed to relieve pain caused by infected or damaged tooth pulp. During the procedure, the dentist cleans out the infected tissue, disinfects the area, and seals the tooth to prevent future issues. Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, root canals are no more uncomfortable than a routine filling. At West Roxbury Dental Arts, our goal is to make the process as smooth and painless as possible, ensuring your tooth is restored to full health.
