If you're experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need a root canal to save your tooth and relieve discomfort. At Fenwick Dental, we provide gentle, pain-free root canal therapy to remove infection, protect your natural tooth, and restore your oral health.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, preventing further infection and saving the natural structure. Once the pulp is removed, the tooth is cleaned, sealed, and restored with a crown or filling.

Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold

What to Expect During a Root Canal Procedure

-
Cleaning & Sealing the Tooth – The infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
-
Restoration with a Crown or Filling – To protect the tooth, we place a custom crown or filling for long-term strength.
Is a Root Canal Painful?
No! Thanks to modern techniques and local anesthesia, root canal treatment is no more painful than getting a filling. In fact, the procedure relieves the pain caused by infection and helps save your natural tooth.

Mild soreness is normal for a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
