Root Canals in Cincinnati & Mason, OH

Root canal therapy saves teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted. Modern techniques and anesthesia make the procedure comfortable and effective, preserving your natural tooth and preventing the spread of infection.

What to Expect

A root canal at Kings Dental is a straightforward procedure designed to save your natural tooth and relieve pain. After numbing the area with local anesthesia, your dentist creates a small opening in the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp. The damaged nerve tissue and bacteria are carefully removed, and the interior of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped. The space is then filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.

In most cases, we recommend placing a dental crown over the treated tooth to restore its full strength and protect it from future fracture. The entire process is typically completed in one to two visits, and many patients report that the procedure feels no different from getting a standard filling.

When Is a Root Canal Needed?

• Severe toothache or throbbing pain, especially when chewing
• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
• Swelling, tenderness, or a recurring pimple on the gums
• Deep decay or a crack that has reached the tooth pulp

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment eliminates infection, relieves pain, and allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than resorting to extraction and replacement. A preserved natural tooth maintains proper chewing function, protects neighboring teeth from excessive wear, and keeps your jawbone healthy.
