At Fresno Dental Care, we provide comfortable, high-quality root canal therapy in Fresno to relieve pain and preserve your natural teeth. Led by Dr. Kamaldeep Singh, our experienced team ensures a stress-free experience using the latest dental technology and techniques.
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that treats infection or damage in the pulp of a tooth — the innermost part that contains nerves and blood vessels. When decay, trauma, or a deep cavity reaches the pulp, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscess or tooth loss if not treated.
Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future issues. The goal is to save your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
Common symptoms that may indicate you need a root canal include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, or discoloration of the tooth. If you’re experiencing any of these, contact us right away for an evaluation.
We often identify these symptoms during routine dental cleanings or general family dentistry exams.
We begin by numbing the area completely for your comfort. Dr. Singh then removes the infected pulp, disinfects the canal, and fills it with a biocompatible material. A protective restoration, such as a dental crown, is typically placed over the tooth to restore strength and function.
Modern root canal treatment is highly successful and no more painful than a routine filling — and it can save your smile.
At Fresno Dental Care, we prioritize patient comfort and care. Our advanced techniques and modern technology ensure precise and efficient treatment with minimal discomfort. We understand that the idea of a root canal can be intimidating, but our compassionate team is here to make the process as smooth as possible.
Following treatment, you may experience some tenderness for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients return to their normal activities within 24 hours.
We’ll schedule a follow-up to ensure proper healing and may recommend additional restorative care if needed.
