Non Surgical Root Canal Treatment
Ignoring tooth pain doesn’t make it go away, and in most cases, it only gets worse. Persistent pain, sensitivity, or sudden swelling near a tooth are often signs of an infection deep inside. The most effective way to stop the discomfort and save your natural tooth is a standard non-surgical root canal.Â
At Paradise Ridge Family Dentistry, we provide local anesthesia to keep you comfortable and stress-free throughout the procedure. Our experienced dentist with advanced training in endodontics carefully removes infected pulp, thoroughly cleans and seals the canals with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. You may need a dental crown afterwards to give a natural, lasting finish.
Pulpectomy (Complete Root Canal)
When an infection spreads deep into the root canals of the baby’s tooth, a pulpectomy may be needed to save the tooth. This procedure is similar to an adult root canal, but is especially for primary teeth. In this, all of the infected pulp is removed from both the crown and the roots, then the space is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.
The procedure preserves the baby tooth and prevents early tooth loss that can lead to spacing and alignment issues in permanent teeth. We treat young patients with extra patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable throughout the visit.
Apicoectomy (Root End Surgery)
Sometimes, tooth pain returns even after a root canal because bacteria can remain at the tip of the root, beyond the reach of a standard procedure. In such cases, a minor surgery known as apicoectomy is needed to remove infection at its source. It also saves your natural tooth from extraction.
At Paradise Ridge Family Dentistry, we provide local anesthesia for the procedure to keep you comfortable during the treatment and ensure a quick recovery. We are experienced in handling even complex cases, using advanced techniques and modern dental technology to help you finally get rid of lingering tooth pain.
Pulpotomy (Partial Root Canal)
Seeing your child in pain, struggling to eat, sleep, or continue their daily routine, is hard for any parent. A pulpotomy offers a safe way to remove deep infection from the tooth pulp and relieve pain. Removing the tooth too early can affect how their permanent teeth come in, leading to alignment issues later.
This treatment targets only the damaged pulp while leaving the healthy tissues undisturbed. On average, pulpotomy generally costs between $90 to $350 or more in Phoenix, AZ for one tooth. Saving baby teeth is important as it maintains proper spacing and supports healthy development until adult teeth emerge.Â
Endodontic Retreatment
A root canal doesn’t always last forever. Sometimes, a treated tooth develops a new infection, the filling weakens, or symptoms slowly come back over time. The endodontic retreatment gives your tooth a second chance before the need for extraction or a dental implant.
We ensure the retreatment process is as smooth and comfortable as your first visit to our clinic. After a careful evaluation, our experienced centrist addresses the underlying issue and restores the tooth with a protective crown so it feels strong and natural again. With timely care, you can keep enjoying your natural smile for many more years.

Root canal procedure targets the very heart of the tooth to eliminate infection and restore structural integrity. The inside part of the tooth is called pulp, which is treated in the root canal. Bacteria infect it and cause decay.
An untreated infection in this area can lead to agonising pain, bone loss, and systemic health risks. The root canal process involves removing the compromised tissue and sealing the internal environment.
Why Root Canals Don’t Kill The Teeth
A fully formed tooth no longer requires the internal pulp for survival or function. Also, the surrounding periodontal tissues provide the necessary support and nourishment for the external tooth structure.
Removing the pulp during a root canal effectively stops the infection. It does not kill the tooth’s functionality. The tooth (top part) remains in use, chewing as it did before.
Symptoms Requiring Root Canal Treatment
Persistent pain is the most frequent symptom reported by patients who may require a root canal. Many people experience brief sensitivity to cold and heat. A patient might sip hot coffee and feel a sharp sting that persists for several minutes.
Moreover, slight swelling can also indicate root infection. These symptoms can be further confirmed by a dark spot in dental x-ray.
Procedure of Root Canal
It starts with advanced diagnostic imaging. It may include X-rays and CBCT scans to clearly see infected roots. Roots have canals, which become visible by advanced imaging
After confirmation of the infected root, a mechanism is developed to painlessly remove the infected part (pulp). For this, anaesthesia or numbing is done.
After numbing, the root is accessed using a small entry. Infected pulp is removed and properly cleaned to avoid future infection. It is filled with rubbery materials and heated, so it fits in the space properly. In this way, the tooth remains intact, and underneath the root is replaced with a solid, uninfected part.
Recovery After Root Canal
After almost every dental procedure, there is mild discomfort. Depending on the person and type of procedure, the period varies. During recovery from root canal treatment, dentists prescribe pain relief medication like ibuprofen to make you feel comfortable. During the healing process, we recommend avoiding chewing.
Teeth After Root Canal – How To Make Teeth Without Roots Last Lifetime?
Since root canal-treated teeth don’t have roots and thus no supply of nutrients from blood, it becomes weak over time. The average life of such teeth is around 10 years. To make it last a lifetime, a dental crown is recommended.
The crown protects the teeth from above, from fracture or unintentional pressure. It acts as a helmet and a protective cover. With a crown, the average lifespan of treated teeth increases to 20 years. It is important to note that proper hygiene and regular dental checkups are necessary to maintain lifespan.
Persistent toothache, lingering sensitivity, swollen gums, or a darkened tooth are common signs of deeply infected or damaged tooth pulp.
Yes, but it rarely happens when the treated tooth develops a new infection. It can be saved with a retreatment or apicoectomy.
