Persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, swelling, or discomfort when chewing may indicate a problem inside your tooth. At Total Care Dentistry in Homestead, FL, we provide root canal treatment designed to remove infection, relieve discomfort, and help preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
With experienced dental professionals and modern technology available under one roof, our goal is to make your treatment as comfortable, precise, and efficient as possible.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or other damage, root canal treatment may be necessary.
During treatment, the affected tissue is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to help prevent further infection.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your visit begins with a comprehensive examination and dental X-rays to evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures.
If root canal treatment is recommended, the area is numbed with local anesthesia for your comfort. The infected or inflamed tissue is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, shaped, and sealed.
Depending on the condition and location of the tooth, a dental crown may be recommended afterward to help protect the tooth and restore its strength and function.

Whenever possible, preserving your natural tooth can help maintain your bite, chewing function, and overall dental health.
