Note that root canals are meant to reduce pain and discomfort, not add to it! These treatments seek to remove infected root material from the tooth and replace it with a synthetic material, thus saving the tooth from extraction and further infection. Before your dentist works to remove this infected material, local anesthesia is used to provide the patient with as much comfort during this procedure as possible during their treatment. Then, your dentist will access the inner root of the tooth, remove the infected root material, and then replace this material with a synthetic material that renders the tooth safe from infection and removes any risk of extraction.

When it comes to root canals, no two dental teams are alike! The team at San Tan Valley Smiles leverages today’s best treatment protocols with advanced dental technologies to give our patients the best possible results from their treatments, as well as the most comfortable treatment experience possible.
