Root Canal Therapy in Amarillo, TX
A severe toothache can really ruin your day and make everyday tasks difficult. A root canal treatment can provide quick relief and save your natural tooth from more damage and discomfort.
At Karr & Hardee Dentistry, we aim to make the experience as simple and gentle as possible. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident with your smile again.
What is a Root Canal?
Many patients arrive at our office already anxious or in pain. We understand how irresistible that can feel, which is why our dentists, Dr. Clint Karr and Dr. Thomas Hardee, explain every step clearly and keep you comfortable.
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that treats infection or damage inside the tooth pulp. It involves carefully cleaning out the inside of a tooth, removing infection, disinfecting, and then sealing it to prevent future problems.
The root canal procedure is typically recommended when the soft tissue inside your tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed. Left untreated, the infection can spread, causing more pain and potentially leading to tooth loss. With timely care, a root canal restores health and prevents further complications.
Signs you may need a root canal:
- Severe, persistent tooth pain.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums.
- A small, pimple-like bump on the gums.
- Darkening of the tooth.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek treatment quickly from our proficient team to save your natural tooth.
