Non-Surgical Root Canal
A nagging toothache or sharp sensitivity can signal trouble beneath the surface. Non-surgical root canal treatment gently removes infection from the tooth’s center, protecting your natural tooth and stopping pain in its tracks.

What is a Non-Surgical Root Canal?
A non-surgical root canal treats an infected or damaged tooth by removing the affected pulp at its center.
The pulp contains blood vessels that help form and maintain the surrounding tooth structure. Infection can develop due to deep decay, cracks, chips, trauma, or repeated dental work.
Clearing the damaged pulp and sealing the area restores the tooth from the inside out, keeping it intact and strong.
What Happens During a Non-Surgical Root Canal?
During treatment, we gently remove the infected pulp. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned and shaped to remove bacteria and debris, and the root canal system is sealed to prevent further infection.
Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is comfortable, and we also offer nitrous oxide for additional relaxation. Most treatments are completed in one visit, though complex cases may require more than one.
The success rate for non-surgical root canals is around 90%, allowing most patients to return to normal activities immediately.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal if you experience persistent tooth pain, extreme sensitivity, swelling, or visible damage such as cracks or chips. Sometimes, an abscess or recurring gum issues can indicate the need for treatment.
Getting an evaluation as soon as you notice the symptoms helps prevent more serious complications and can often save the tooth from extraction.
How to Care for Your Mouth After a Root Canal
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until your restoration is complete.
- Maintain daily brushing and flossing to prevent decay.
- Attend follow-up appointments for your final restoration, usually a crown.
- Report any unusual pain, swelling, or signs of infection to the dental office immediately.
