Root Canal Therapy

A root canal has a worse reputation than it deserves. Today it's a comfortable, routine way to save a tooth that's infected or badly decayed — and end the pain that comes with it. Dr. Anthony Price provides gentle root canal therapy for Germantown patients using modern technique.

What is a root canal?

When infection or decay reaches the inner nerve of a tooth, a root canal removes the damaged tissue, cleans and seals the tooth, and saves it from extraction. It relieves pain rather than causing it.

Do you need one?

Signs include lingering tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a darkening tooth. Dr. Price will examine and image the tooth to confirm whether a root canal is the right fix.

The benefits

Saves your natural tooth; ends infection and pain; a comfortable, modern procedure; and often finished efficiently — sometimes protected with a same-day crown.

What to expect

Exam and imaging; comfortable treatment with anesthesia; cleaning and sealing of the tooth; then a crown to protect it if needed.
