Root Canal Treatment
Advancements in technology and anesthesia have made root canal treatments more comfortable and efficient at removing infection and preserving your natural smile.
Root Canal Treatment in Broken Arrow, OK
Although tooth enamel provides a strong outer layer of protection, deep cavities or injuries can allow bacteria to reach the tooth’s inner structure. When an infection reaches the pulp, it can cause severe pain and jeopardize the tooth’s health. A root canal operation eliminates the infection, relieves discomfort, and prevents the need for extraction.
Our expert team in Broken Arrow, OK, specializes in root canal treatment. We ensure a smooth and effective procedure. We restore the tooth’s strength and function by removing infected tissue, thoroughly cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth. This treatment alleviates pain and helps maintain a long-lasting, natural smile.

What happens if I delay a needed root canal?
Delaying a root canal treatment allows the infection to spread, potentially leading to increased pain, swelling, and even tooth loss. The longer the infection persists, the more complex the treatment may become.
-
Can a root canal fail?
Although rare, a root canal operation can fail if bacteria remain inside the tooth or if the tooth sustains further damage. A follow-up procedure may be necessary to fully eliminate the infection.
-
Do root canals cause long-term sensitivity?
Mild sensitivity may occur temporarily after a root canal, but it typically resolves within a few weeks. Your dentist can evaluate the tooth for any underlying concerns if discomfort persists.
