A common myth about root canal treatment is that the procedure is painful. What causes your pain is an infection inside your tooth's inner canals that's impacting your nerve.
A root canal actually relieves your discomfort. It also saves your natural tooth structure and eliminates your infection.
What Happens during a Root Canal in Kingsport?
Root canal treatment is very straightforward and has never been more comfortable since we have rotary endodontic capabilities. This technology is made of flexible nickel titanium, so it easily and comfortably reaches your tooth's canals. Since it's electric, it also quickly removes the diseased tissues and alleviates your infection and pain.
Dr. Marshall also numbs the infected tooth with a dental anesthetic that works to relieve pain immediately and ensure you don't feel anything during the procedure.
Once the compromised tissue is removed and we ensure your tooth is infection-free, we'll seal the tooth with a temporary filling. We'll give it some time to heal before we rebuild it with a permanent crown or filling.
