Does the phrase "root canal" make you nervous?

Here's the good news: a root canal is a way to save a tooth when the inside becomes infected - and it's often what relieves pain, not causes it.

If you've been putting off care because you're unsure or anxious, our team focuses on comfort and making sure you know what to expect every step of the way.
