Great care!: root canals today are painless,often accomplished in 1 visit, and if done by an Endodontist, performed under a microscope for ultimate proficiency!

Root canal: If a tooth can be saved with a good prognosis, the root canal is the treatment of choice. Root canal treatment is done under profound local anesthetic. It doesn’t hurt more than a filling or any other dental procedure. Your dentist will check, evaluate and offer advice and treatment specific to your individual situation.
