ROOT CANAL THERAPY

PAIN RELIEF AT THE FIRST VISIT

Root Canal Therapy in Huntsville, TX — Relief From Pain, Not the Cause of It

"Root canal" might be the two most feared words in dentistry. But here is the truth that most patients discover only after they have had one — a root canal does not cause pain. It ends it.

If you are dealing with a toothache that will not go away, sensitivity that lingers after eating or drinking, or pain that comes out of nowhere, a root canal may be exactly what gives you relief. At Huntsville Dentistry & Implants, Dr. Fritsch and Dr. McQuay perform comfortable, efficient root canal therapy right here in Huntsville — no referral to a specialist, no driving to another city, and no reason to be afraid.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the source is removed

  • Pain when biting or chewing on a specific tooth

  • Spontaneous or throbbing tooth pain

  • A small pimple-like bump on the gum near a painful tooth

  • Swelling or tenderness of the gums around a tooth

  • A tooth that has become noticeably darker than surrounding teeth

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms do not wait — dental infections do not resolve on their own and worsen over time.

What to Expect

The tooth is completely numbed before we begin so you feel pressure and movement, not pain. Most patients are genuinely surprised by how manageable the experience is. Any soreness afterward is typically mild and resolves within a day or two. Most patients return to normal activity the following day.

In most cases a crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its full strength. We offer same-day CEREC ceramic crowns so in many cases your root canal and permanent crown can be completed in a single visit.
