Root Canal Treatment Tampa
Reliable Relief for Terrible Toothaches
Contrary to popular belief, root canals are actually one of the best ways to stop severe dental pain, not cause it. They accomplish this by treating teeth that have developed an interior infection where some soft tissue (as well as a delicate nerve) is located. So, if you are struggling with considerable sensitivity, soreness, or pain, we have good news: we can stop the discomfort right now. Just give us a call to schedule a same-day emergency dental appointment at Advanced Dental Associates of Tampa Palms!

The Root Canal Process
After you have been adequately numbed, your dentist will create a small opening in your tooth so they can access the pulp (the tissue touched on above that is infected). They’ll remove the pulp, clean the interior of the tooth, and then fill the space. The pain will largely be gone at this point, and you’ll receive a crown at a follow-up visit to ensure the tooth remains strong for years to come.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
Although root canals are one of the most feared procedures, they are actually good news! Here are a few reasons why:
- Root canals are virtually painless: Not only does this restorative treatment put an end to the discomfort you’ve been experiencing, but the first step is always to numb your mouth thoroughly. That way, you don’t feel any pain or discomfort in the process.
- The final result is extremely lifelike: Previously, metal restorations were used to protect treated teeth. Now, metal-free options are available to prevent unwanted attention from being drawn to your smile.
- Root canals are better for your smile and your wallet: With this procedure, we can save the tooth and help the patient avoid the expense of getting a tooth extraction and replacement.
- Sedation dentistry is available: Struggle with dental anxiety? Don’t worry – we offer calming solutions, like nitrous oxide, to ensure your experience at our office is calm, comfortable, and completely stress-free.
