Root Canals in Dyersburg
Infected pulp in the root canal can cause pain. Left untreated, the infection can spread and become a serious risk to your health.
Root canal treatment from Elite Dental Care in Dyersburg, TN, has minimal pain and can save your natural tooth.
If you suspect there is an infection in your root canal, contact our dental office today.
Nearly Painless Treatment For a Painful Condition
A root canal infection forms when plaque builds up and destroys enamel, allowing bacteria to enter the tooth's pulp. Bacterial infection can lead to the formation of an abscess, which swells and causes pain.
Thanks to advanced dentistry techniques and technology, our dentists can gently administer root canal treatment, removing pulp that's infected and saving your natural tooth.
Some patients believe root canal therapy is a painful procedure. In reality, a root canal treatment involves little pain, and feels similar to getting a filling for a cavity. Our Dyersburg office offers sedation dentistry to help patients anxious about root canal therapy relax during their procedure.

View on GoogleYou Might Need a Root Canal If You Have These Symptoms
Most patients notice signs that indicate the pulp in their tooth is infected. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact our Dyersburg, TN, dental office today. The earlier our dentists can identify infected tooth pulp, the faster we can act to preserve your natural tooth.
- Toothache when eating or applying pressure to your tooth
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold food or temperatures
- A small, pimple-like bump on the gums
- A darkened tooth
- Tenderness or swelling in the gums
- Swollen lymph nodes
- A sudden and persistent bad taste in your mouth
While pain is often the first sign of an infection, it's important to note that you can have an infected root canal without feeling any pain. Sometimes, the pain inside the tooth will go away. This typically means the nerves inside the tooth are dead.
If your dental pain disappeared, you still need treatment. Left untreated, the bacteria in your tooth pulp can spread through the tooth roots into the gums, the jaw, and into your bloodstream. The dentists at our Dyersburg, TN, dentistry office can examine your tooth and determine if the infected pulp can be removed.
Root Canal Benefits
Pain Relief
Infected pulp tissue in the tooth causes toothaches and pain, especially when chewing or speaking. Root canal therapy removes the cause of the pain.
Avoid Extraction
If an infected tooth can't be treated, it will need to be extracted. No matter how good restorations are, preserving a natural tooth is always best. Timely root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth.
Protect Your Health
An untreated infected tooth can cause other health issues like bone deterioration in your jaw and an abscess. Root canal treatment prevents these health problems.
Fast Procedure
A root canal procedure generally takes about an hour and can be completed in one visit. Oftentimes, follow-up visits are not necessary.
A Closer Look At How Pulp in Root Canals Becomes Infected

Do I Need an Endodontist For My Root Canal?
An endodontist is a dentist who has specialized dental knowledge in the field of endodontics, which focuses on tooth pulp and root canals. While receiving treatment from an endodontist can be beneficial for some complex procedures, it is not necessary for root canal treatment.
The dentists at Elite Dental Care in Dyersburg, TN, can perform gentle root canal treatment, removing the infected pulp and preserving your tooth. We may recommend getting a dental crown for the treated tooth to strengthen it.
