Root Canal Treatment

Stop Infection and Relieve Pain

If one of your teeth has become infected from the inside the tooth enamel, you may experience a persistent toothache or extreme tooth sensitivity. The doctors at Water Oak Dental typically recommend a root canal in Brevard, NC when we know we can still save the tooth while eliminating the infected pulp inside the tooth structure. Getting a root canal in a timely manner can prevent further problems and save your smile.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

When the inside of the tooth has become infected, the infection can spread to other teeth and parts of the mouth which in turn causes more damage. Our goal is to stop the infection in its tracks and ultimately save your natural tooth. While some patients are asymptomatic others experience one or more of these common symptoms:

• Pain when eating
• Feeling of tightness or pressure on just one tooth
• Extreme sensitivity
• Pimple-like bumps on the gums
• Persistent toothaches
• Discomfort when chewing or talking
