Save Your Natural Tooth with Gentle Root Canal Therapy

Tooth pain that lingers, worsens with pressure, or is accompanied by swelling could mean an infection inside the tooth. When this happens, root canal therapy may be the most effective way to eliminate the infection, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth. At Orange Blossom Dentistry, we provide gentle, precise root canal therapy in Orange Park for patients who want lasting relief without losing their teeth.

A root canal is a restorative procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside the tooth. Once cleaned and sealed, the tooth is restored with a dental crown, allowing it to function like normal again. With advanced technology and a compassionate approach, our team delivers root canals that are efficient, low-stress, and focused on long-term oral health.

We proudly serve patients in Orange Park, Fleming Island, and Middleburg, offering the care and experience you can trust when facing tooth pain.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s important to seek care right away:

• Persistent or severe toothache
• Sensitivity to heat or cold that lingers
• Swelling around the gums or jaw
• Discoloration or darkening of a tooth
• Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
• A small bump on the gum (abscess)

Left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to more serious complications, including bone loss or the need for extraction. Our goal at Orange Blossom Dentistry is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible through timely and effective treatment.

What Happens During a Root Canal?

Many patients are surprised to learn that root canal therapy feels similar to getting a dental filling. Here’s what to expect during your appointment:

1. We begin by using digital radiographs to assess the internal condition of the tooth.
2. After ensuring you are fully numb (and relaxed, if using sedation dentistry), we access the inner chamber of the tooth.
3. The infected pulp is removed, and the area is disinfected and shaped.
4. The tooth is filled and sealed with a special material to prevent future infection.
5. A temporary or permanent dental crown is placed to restore strength and function.

In most cases, the entire procedure is completed in one or two visits. We also provide detailed post-treatment instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
