Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment in Georgetown — Relief and Tooth Preservation

A root canal can relieve pain and help save a tooth when the inner tissue is inflamed or infected. At Argyll Dental, our root canal care focuses on removing infection, stabilizing the tooth, and preserving your natural tooth structure whenever possible.

Signs you may need a root canal

You may need evaluation if you have:

  • lingering toothache or pressure

  • sensitivity to hot/cold that persists

  • pain when chewing

  • swelling near a tooth or gumline

  • a history of deep decay or tooth trauma

Only an exam (and often X-rays) can confirm the cause.

What happens during treatment

Root canal therapy typically involves:

  1. diagnosing the tooth and taking X-rays if needed

  2. cleaning infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth

  3. disinfecting and sealing the canal space

  4. restoring the tooth afterward (often with a crown, depending on structure)

We’ll explain each step and outline the restoration plan clearly.

  • Modern root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain, not create it. We’ll prioritize comfort and explain what to expect.

  • Many back teeth benefit from a crown afterward for strength, but it depends on remaining tooth structure. We’ll advise what’s appropriate.

  • When a tooth can be saved predictably, preserving it is often preferred. If the tooth can’t be restored well, extraction may be discussed. We’ll walk you through pros/cons for your case.
