If you are suffering from excruciating pain in the root of one or more of your teeth, it might be because the infection in your tooth has progressed through the root canal and has spread to the nerve. The pain might not subside despite taking over-the-counter painkillers and can make a visit to the dentist for a root canal procedure inevitable. It is an <b>endodontic procedure</b> during which the dentist will drill through your tooth to expose the root canal, clean the root canal of the infection, sever the infected part of the nerve, and fill the canal with a special sealant called gutta percha. A filling is then applied to the cavity and a crown may be recommended to prolong the life of the treated tooth. A <b>root canal dentist specialist</b> helps you to relieve the pain permanently and can protect the tooth for a long time, especially when the tooth is covered with a crown.

In our Livonia clinic, we use advanced technology to detect and remove the infection-causing bacteria hiding in the root canal. The opening is sealed completely to prevent food particles and liquids from seeping into the affected canal and causing complications. Trust our two decades of experience and thousands of satisfied patients who have had their root canal treatment completed successfully.
