Root Canal Treatment Murfreesboro
Say Goodbye to the Source of Your Tooth Pain
Root canals have a bit of a negative reputation, to say the least. But the truth is, a root canal doesn't cause pain; it relieves it! When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or trauma, the resulting pressure and bacterial infection are what cause the discomfort you feel. A root canal removes that source of pain, saves your natural tooth, and stops the infection before it spreads. If you’ve been dealing with a terrible toothache, don’t wait to contact our Murfreesboro office; a root canal may be able to help.

What Happens During a Root Canal?
You’ll be numbed before your root canal, so while you might feel some pressure during the procedure, you will not feel any outright pain. Dr. Barker will begin by creating a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the inner pulp chamber and root canals. Using precise, slender instruments, he will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp tissue, clean and shape each canal, and flush the area to eliminate remaining bacteria. The canals are then filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. In most cases, the tooth will then need a crown to protect and fully restore it.
