Relieve Pain and Save Your Natural Tooth

A severe tooth infection or deep decay can cause intense discomfort and jeopardize the health of your tooth. At Hill Family Dental in Orem, UT, we provide gentle and effective root canal therapy to remove infection, relieve pain, and restore your tooth’s function.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a specialized dental procedure designed to remove infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth. This treatment eliminates pain while preserving your natural tooth structure.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Severe tooth pain when chewing or biting.
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
Swollen, tender gums around the affected tooth.
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
Persistent pimple-like swelling on the gums.

The Root Canal Process

Examination & X-Rays – We assess the affected tooth and take digital X-rays to determine the extent of infection.
Local Anesthesia – The area is numbed to ensure a pain-free procedure.
Cleaning the Canals – The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are disinfected.
Filling & Sealing – The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
Final Restoration – A dental crown or filling is placed to restore strength and function to the tooth.
