Root Canal Therapy in Kennewick, WA
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
- We numb the area completely — you won't feel pain
- A small opening is made to access the pulp chamber
- Infected tissue is removed and canals are cleaned
- The tooth is filled and sealed
- A crown is usually placed to restore strength
Most root canals are completed in one or two visits.
