Root Canal Treatment Midlothian
Erasing Toothaches with Simple Root Canal Treatment
If you have a cavity treated quickly, most of the time the damage will only affect the enamel layer. Given enough time, though, the bacteria causing the decay can work itself to the inner nerve of the tooth known as the dental pulp, leading to severe tooth pain that can stop you from eating comfortably. An infected tooth does not necessarily have to be removed. Root canal treatment allows us to get rid of the damaged tissue so that the pain stops and your tooth is preserved. If you’re in pain, give us a call today to find out whether root canal treatment in Midlothian can help.

What Happens During a Root Canal?
Root canals typically take two visits to complete. During your first appointment, one of our emergency dentists in Midlothian will access the inner chamber of your tooth to remove the infected pulp and sanitize the chamber. After the affected tooth is cleaned out, our team will fill it with a biocompatible substance called gutta percha to restore its structure and take an impression to send off to our dental laboratory to craft your crown. At your second visit, we’ll remove your temporary crown and cement your permanent one onto your treated tooth to finish up the procedure.
