Get a Stress-Free Root Canal

So root canals are a treatment that is often needed when patients have big cavities that have reached the pulp or the nerve of the tooth. And a lot of times root canals have a negative connotation attached to them based on how they were done in the past. Nowadays with the anesthetics that we use and really with our team, I think a lot of it has to do with the doctors during the procedure.

We really take the time to make sure our patients are comfortable when we're doing that procedure. We don't want to rush it, but we want to do everything we can to make sure that you don't feel anything when we're doing the root canal so that you can have a positive experience and really be restored to health. Because root canals really are a great way to save your teeth and get more life out of them and to get relief from pain.

Feel Better Soon With Root Canal Treatment

Contrary to what many people believe, a root canal doesn't cause you pain. It will stop the pain caused by a diseased tooth. A root canal procedure will most likely be recommended if you have an untreated cavity or tooth injury, and infection has reached the soft, inner portion of the tooth. Significant pain often results if this area, called the pulp chamber, becomes infected.

To repair your tooth and save it from extraction, Dr. Despain and our team will:

  • Offer you a choice of sedation options if desired, and numb your mouth with local anesthesia
  • Access the pulp chamber through the top of the tooth
  • Remove the infected tissue
  • Disinfect the tooth to prevent further problems
  • Shape and repair the root canals
  • Fill the tooth with an inert material
  • Cap the repaired tooth with a new crown made right in our office

After your treatment is finished, your tooth will be almost as strong as before. The crown will cover the entire tooth to restore virtually all your biting and chewing capacity. You'll also have a beautiful tooth that you'll feel confident showing off.

Learn the Signs Your Tooth Is Infected

The most well-known symptom of a tooth infection is pain that keeps getting worse. However, you may also notice other symptoms, such as:

  • Jaw pain and swelling
  • Red, puffy, or swollen gums
  • Extreme tooth sensitivity
  • A pimple or bump on your gums
  • A bad taste or odor in your mouth

If you recognize any of these signs, call our dental office ASAP.

The best way you can prevent root canal treatment is with good oral care practices. Brushing and flossing is only the start. You should also visit us every six months for cleanings and exams.

Wow. I have a HUGE fear of dental work and usually end up in tears due to a horrific gag reflex. They have worked with me, been kind and understanding and helped figure out how to work with me. I am now comfortable, for the first time ever, to walk in to the dentist and know it will be ok.

I appreciate this dental office, they have state of the art equipment and crowns are done while you wait! As a disabled vet, they are the only one I have found in Moses Lake that is proactive and they reach out to the VA for authorization. Good experience, no medical bills from them, directly...

Commonly Asked Questions About Root Canals

Why have a root canal?

If the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected, you'll need to have a root canal or remove the tooth. Otherwise, the infection can worsen and spread to your jaw and even elsewhere in your body, causing potentially serious health issues. You'll recover more easily from a root canal than an extraction, and it keeps your tooth structure in place.

Are root canals painful?

While they have that reputation, most patients find a root canal no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. The procedure eliminates pain; it doesn't cause it! We'll numb your mouth with local anesthesia so you don't feel pain. You may find it easier to relax if you also receive one of our three forms of safe dental sedation.

How much does a root canal cost?

Treatment costs can vary greatly for a root canal, so you will need to come in for an initial exam and imaging before we can give you a cost for your particular procedure. For your convenience, we offer a variety payment options, including payment plans through one of several third-party financing companies.
