Root Canal Procedures in Norton Shores, MI
What Is a Root Canal?
If you have an infection in your tooth that derives from a cavity or a severely cracked tooth from an injury, you may need a root canal.
A root canal is a procedure that is required when a patient has an infection or damage to the pulp of their tooth. The purpose of this procedure is to remove the infection and pain that accompanies it and save the tooth from the possibility of extraction by restoring it.

Signs You Need a Root Canal
Several symptoms may suggest you need a root canal. Pain and sensitivity to certain foods and beverages or to hot or cold are common signs, as well as toothaches, discomfort, or in severe cases, a visible abscess. You may also experience pain when biting or chewing.
The Root Canal Procedure
During root canal therapy, our specialists will remove the infected tissue, then clean out and fill the canals of your tooth with permanent, biocompatible material. The opening of the tooth is then sealed with a composite filling and protected with a dental crown. You will be given a local anesthetic before treatment to ensure a painless, stress-free procedure.
The Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
A root canal procedure will relieve pain and discomfort and allow your tooth to be restored. A root canal prevents the loss of your tooth and prevents the infection of other teeth. It promotes better oral health, which in turn supports overall well-being.
