Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)

Save Your Natural Tooth & Relieve Pain Quickly

Root Canal Treatment at Myrtle Dental Clinic

A root canal treatment—also known as endodontic therapy—is a safe and effective way to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. Instead of extracting the tooth, a root canal allows us to remove the infection, relieve pain, and restore full function. At Myrtle Dental Clinic, your trusted Myrtle Dental Clinic provider, we use the latest technology and gentle techniques to ensure your treatment is smooth, comfortable, and stress-free.

If you’re experiencing toothache, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need a root canal to prevent further complications. Visit us at Myrtle Dental Clinic to receive the compassionate care you deserve.

What Is Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)?

What Is Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)?

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions inside the tooth, specifically targeting the nerve and blood vessels known as the pulp. When this area becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment is performed to thoroughly clean and disinfect the internal root canals before sealing the space to prevent future reinfection. Finally, the tooth is restored with a custom filling or crown, a process that eliminates pain, removes infection, and ultimately saves your natural tooth structure.

More Than a Simple Extraction

Severe Toothache or Jaw Pain

01 — Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Dentist at Myrtle Dental may recommend a root canal if you experience:

  • Persistent toothache or pain when biting
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • Swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gum
  • Darkening or discoloration of the tooth

Early treatment prevents the infection from spreading and protects your overall oral health

02 — What’s Involved in a Root Canal Treatment?

  • Diagnosis & Digital X-Rays – We assess the tooth using modern digital X-rays and testing to identify the source of pain.
  • Local Anaesthetic for Pain Free Treatment – Treatment is performed gently and usually feels like getting a standard filling.
  • Removing the Infected Pulp – We carefully clean and disinfect the root canals to remove bacteria and infection.
  • Sealing the Tooth – The canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent future reinfection.
  • Tooth Restoration –  A crown or filling is placed to strengthen and restore full tooth function.
