Root Canal Therapy in Kennewick, WA

Save your tooth — and stop the pain — with gentle, modern root canal treatment.

What Is a Root Canal?

Root canals have a bad reputation, but modern techniques make them no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. This treatment saves teeth that would otherwise need extraction by removing infected pulp and sealing the tooth. Most patients feel immediate relief.

When You Need a Root Canal

  • Severe toothache, especially when chewing
  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Darkening of the tooth
  • Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums
  • Pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess)

What to Expect

  1. We numb the area completely — you won't feel pain
  2. A small opening is made to access the pulp chamber
  3. Infected tissue is removed and canals are cleaned
  4. The tooth is filled and sealed
  5. A crown is usually placed to restore strength

Most root canals are completed in one or two visits.
