relief starts with
the right care
Tooth pain can be overwhelming, but the treatment doesn’t have to be. Our approach to root canals is designed to relieve discomfort and protect your tooth, all while making sure you feel safe, supported, and heard.

FAQs about
jacksonville root canals
What’s a root canal?
It’s a procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside your tooth, relieves pain, and helps prevent future infection.
Will the procedure hurt?
Not at all. We numb the area completely so you feel no pain during the process; only relief afterward.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Symptoms may include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to heat or cold, darkened teeth, swelling, or a bad taste in your mouth. If you notice any of these, give us a call.
What happens after the root canal?
After the infection is removed, we allow your tooth to heal for about two weeks. Then we place a crown or filling to protect and strengthen the tooth.
How long does a root canal last?
With good care, a root canal-treated tooth can last as long as your natural teeth; often many years or even decades.
