Relieve Tooth Pain with Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a highly effective dental procedure used to treat infected or severely decayed teeth while preserving the natural tooth structure. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected, it can cause severe pain and sensitivity. At The Tooth, we perform root canal therapy to remove infection, relieve discomfort, and restore the health of your tooth.
During the procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection. Patients in Sacramento, Roseville, and Yuba City often seek root canal therapy to save their natural tooth and eliminate persistent tooth pain.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal
A root canal may be necessary when tooth decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of the tooth. Early treatment helps prevent the infection from spreading and allows the dentist to save the affected tooth.
You may need root canal therapy if you experience:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swollen or tender gums around the tooth
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Pain when chewing or biting
Our dentist will evaluate your symptoms and take digital X-rays to determine if root canal therapy is the best treatment option.
What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is a routine dental procedure designed to remove infection and protect the natural tooth. The treatment is performed with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the process.
The root canal procedure generally includes:
A thorough dental exam and digital X-rays
Removing the infected or damaged pulp
Cleaning and disinfecting the root canals
Sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection
Placing a dental crown if needed for strength
After treatment, the tooth can function normally and remain a healthy part of your smile.
