Non-Surgical Root Canal in Wilmington, DE
Root Canal Therapy: A Safe, Effective Way to Treat Infected Teeth
A root canal is a common, highly effective treatment used to save an infected or damaged tooth and prevent the need for extraction or replacement. Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called pulp, which can become infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms often include tooth pain, swelling, and sensitivity to hot or cold.
During non-surgical root canal treatment, the infected pulp is removed, the canal is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is protected to prevent reinfection. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, with nitrous oxide available if needed, and is usually completed in one or two visits with a high success rate.

Recovery Timeline & Root Canal Costs
After treatment, you will be referred to your restorative dentist for a follow-up crown or filling to protect the tooth and restore strength. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
The cost of a root canal varies depending on the tooth and severity of damage, but it is significantly more affordable than extracting and replacing the tooth. Saving your natural tooth also helps maintain proper bite, jaw alignment, and long-term oral health.
