Root canal therapy treats an infected or inflamed pulp in a tooth's root canal.

Symptoms:

• Trauma or excessive force to tooth

• Tooth color is darker than other surrounding teeth

• Swelling or tenderness around the tooth

• Extreme sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures/liquids

• History of dental treatment on the tooth

• Inflamed or infected tooth pulp

​

Please contact Dentistry of Alexandria for an examination if you experience any of the symptoms above. Dr. Truvan offers root canal therapy in order to minimize or treat the pain. Having a root canal therapy may save the patient's tooth and may return the tooth to status quo.
