Visit our Kennesaw, Georgia, office to learn more about endodontic services with a root canal specialist

If you are experiencing issues such as severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling around the affected tooth, or tooth discoloration, you might need a root canal. Your general dentist may refer you to our office for further assessment, or you can call us directly to schedule an appointment with an endodontist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Many patients have heard of root canals but may not be familiar with the purpose of the treatment and what to expect during the procedure itself. During a root canal, our endodontists at Endodontics Associates of Georgia will first numb the area to ensure you are comfortable throughout the process. Then, they will make a small opening in the top of the tooth to access and remove the infected dental pulp tissues. The inside space of the tooth will be thoroughly disinfected before being filled with a special material. Finally, a quality porcelain dental crown or composite resin filling will be placed over the top of the tooth to protect it and restore its original function.
