Endodontic Therapy in Powder Springs, GA

Endodontic therapy, often called a root canal, is a restorative dental treatment used to remove infection from inside a tooth. The procedure helps relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and prevent the need for extraction.

What happens during a root canal:

• We remove the inflamed or infected pulp tissue
• We clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth
• We seal the canals with a safe, biocompatible material
• A crown is placed to restore strength and appearance

You may need endodontic therapy if you’re experiencing:

• Persistent or severe tooth pain
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Gum swelling or tenderness near a tooth
• A darkened or discolored tooth
• A bump or pimple on the gums

If you’re searching for root canal therapy, don’t wait! Treatment can save your tooth and prevent complications.

Delaying root canal treatment can lead to:

• Worsening pain or infection
• Swelling that spreads to the face or jaw
• Tooth loss and bone deterioration
• More extensive (and expensive) procedures later on

Prompt endodontic treatment helps protect your long-term oral health and prevents emergency dental situations.

Whenever possible, preserving your natural tooth is best. Root canal therapy allows us to:

• Eliminate infection while keeping the original tooth
• Maintain natural bite and jawbone structure
• Avoid shifting of neighboring teeth
• Save you from the cost and complexity of tooth replacement

After your endodontic procedure, mild discomfort or tenderness is normal. Here’s how to support your healing:

• Take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed
• Avoid chewing on the treated side until the crown is placed
• Stick to soft foods and avoid hard or sticky items
• Brush and floss gently around the treated tooth

Most patients feel significantly better within 24–48 hours.

For the first few days post-treatment, choose:

• Soft, easy-to-chew foods like yogurt, smoothies, or mashed potatoes
• Warm (not hot) soups and broths
• Scrambled eggs or oatmeal

Avoid anything crunchy, sticky, or very hot until the area is fully healed.
