Save Your Teeth From Infection with a Root Canal
Many falsely believe that root canals are a painful, unnecessary procedure. However, root canal treatment actually relieves tooth pain and improves oral health. If a tooth infection is left untreated, it can result in the spreading of infection to surrounding teeth and gums, ultimately leading to tooth loss! You may be suffering from a tooth infection if you have:
- Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold beverages
- A Constant toothache
- Tender and swollen gums
- Intense pain when biting or chewing
- Recurring headaches
Our Root Canal Process
Rest assured that Dr. Michael Ruff’s first priority is your comfort and oral health. The root canal treatment process is reasonably painless with the use of local anesthesia and Dr. Ruff’s over 19 years of experience. After anesthesia is applied, the infection is removed from the inside of your tooth and a biocompatible filling is inserted. A custom crown is created using our E4D Technologies System that very day, so you leave with a functional, healthy and natural looking tooth.
Don’t Suffer in Constant Pain—Root Canals Alleviate Discomfort

There is no benefit to putting off root canal treatment, even if you are fearful of seeing the dentist. The longer you wait for treatment, the more likely a serious condition will develop. A root canal can relieve your toothache and improve your oral health. Dr. Ruff offers nitrous oxide sedation, otherwise known as laughing gas, to ease the process for patients with severe dental anxiety.
