Emergency Root Canal in Orlando

A root canal treats the inside of the tooth. When decay, a crack or an old filling lets bacteria reach the nerve, the nerve becomes inflamed or dies, and the result is the deep, throbbing ache that does not respond to painkillers. The treatment removes the nerve tissue, disinfects the canals and seals them, which keeps your own tooth in place rather than extracting it.

We perform root canals under a microscope and take a digital X-ray of each canal as it is finished, so you can see the work rather than take it on trust. Straightforward front-tooth cases are often completed in a single visit; molars, or teeth with active infection, are sometimes opened and settled first, then finished at a second appointment a few days later.

The tooth is numbed thoroughly before anything begins. Most patients describe the appointment as considerably less unpleasant than the night that led them to call.

Most patients are seen within the hour of calling, including overnight, at weekends and on public holidays. Call (407) 903-0320 first even if you intend to walk in — we can prepare the room, quote the cost and tell you what to do while you travel.
