Tooth decay and deep infections can seriously threaten your dental health if left untreated. Endodontic care focuses on treating problems inside the tooth, particularly the pulp, helping to relieve pain and preserve your natural teeth. Thanks to today’s advanced techniques, saving a tooth is often easier and more comfortable than ever before.

At Family Dental of Pelham, our experienced team provides root canal therapy and other endodontic services to restore infected teeth and prevent further complications.

Pelham Endodontic Treatments we Offer

Our highly skilled dental professionals in Pelham specialize in diagnosing and treating endodontic conditions with precision and care. We use modern tools and proven techniques to deliver effective, long-term results while prioritizing your comfort every step of the way.

Here are the endodontic services we provide at our office:

Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is one of the most common endodontic procedures and is used to treat infections in the tooth’s pulp. During the process, our Pelham dentist will carefully remove the infected tissue, clean the canals, and seal them to stop the spread of bacteria and save the tooth.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

When infection reaches the inner pulp of the tooth, you may notice symptoms such as lingering pain, increased sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling in the surrounding gums, or discomfort while chewing. These are all signs that a root canal might be necessary to prevent tooth loss and stop the infection from spreading.

Don’t delay treatment—if you’re in pain, our Pelham dental team is here to help restore your oral health quickly and comfortably.

Step-by-Step Root Canal Process

Your comfort is our top priority. Before beginning the root canal procedure, we’ll numb the area with a local anesthetic. Here’s what typically happens during treatment:

• Access and Removal of Infected Pulp: We create a small opening in the tooth and remove the infected tissue inside.


• Cleaning the Canals: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped to remove bacteria and debris.


• Sealing the Canals: A biocompatible material is used to fill and seal the canals, preventing reinfection.


• Final Restoration: A crown or filling is placed on the tooth to restore its appearance and function.

Endodontic Retreatment

If a previously treated tooth becomes reinfected, we offer retreatment to give your tooth a second chance. This involves removing the old filling, cleaning the area again, and sealing it with new material for lasting results.

Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)

In cases where root canal therapy alone isn’t enough, an apicoectomy may be performed. This minor surgical procedure involves removing the tip of the root and sealing it to stop the infection and preserve the tooth.

Trauma-Related Endodontic Care

Dental injuries from accidents or sports can damage the inner structure of your teeth. At Family Dental of Pelham, we provide prompt care to treat traumatic dental injuries and protect the long-term health of the affected tooth.

Comfort-Focused Treatment Experience

We know that root canals can make some patients feel nervous—but our Pelham team goes the extra mile to create a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. We take time to explain your treatment and keep you comfortable throughout the procedure with gentle, attentive care.
