Root Canal Therapy in Milford, MI | Fortson Dentistry Milford

What Are the Signs You Need a Root Canal?

Common signs include pain when chewing, lingering hot or cold sensitivity, gum swelling, tooth discoloration, or a bump on the gums—often signaling infection or an abscess.

In some cases, symptoms may not appear at all. Left untreated, infection can spread and lead to severe pain or tooth loss. Early detection is key to saving your tooth.

What Happens During a Root Canal?

Step 1: Gentle Numbing

We completely numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure you stay relaxed and pain-free throughout the entire procedure.

Step 2: Removing the Infection

We carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth to eliminate pain and stop the spread of bacteria.

Step 3: Cleaning & Sealing

The inner chamber is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection and preserve the tooth structure.

Step 4: Crown Placement

A natural-looking, tooth-colored crown is placed over the tooth to restore its shape, function, and strength for long-term protection.

With over a 95% success rate, root canal treatment is a safe, effective way to restore your smile.
