Grove Dental endodontists make painful root canal treatments a thing of the past

Root canal therapy (endodontic therapy) has earned a misleading reputation for pain and is considered to be the dental procedure feared most by patients. Not surprising, right?

Unfortunately, inaccurate information about root canal therapy prevents patients from making informed decisions regarding their oral health. Saving your tooth, if possible, is always the best solution, and root canal therapy is the only option that restores the natural tooth to its normal function and natural appearance.

Putting an End to Your Tooth Pain
A root canal is the channel that runs inside the root of the tooth, containing the pulp and blood vessels. When the canal becomes diseased, root canal therapy is necessary in order to remove the infection, eliminate the pain and preserve the natural tooth.

The Grove Advantage
If you, like many patients, cringe at the thought of a root canal, you'll be pleased to learn that painful root canal therapy is a thing of the past. Thanks to advances in dental technology, root canal therapy has become more precise, less invasive, and ultimately, less painful. The key to ensuring a positive patient experience is finding the most qualified dental professional to perform your procedure- a Grove Dental endodontic specialist.

At Grove Dental, we have three experienced, on-staff endodontists who specialize exclusively in root canal therapy; Dr. Milton Davenport, Dr. Daniel Kaplan and Dr. Chad Wiersema. Here's what Dr. Davenport has to say about root canal treatment.

“Very early on I learned that even the most feared dental procedures can be quite comfortable when performed by a well-trained dentist who follows one simple rule: treat every patient as if he or she were your best friend. With my training and commitment to gentle dentistry, I can honestly promise every patient that their root canal will be comfortable and pain-free."- Dr. Milton Davenport.

Visit a Grove Dental Endodontist if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • Moderate to severe toothaches that are often disruptive
  • Prolonged tooth sensitivity to touch, pressure and temperatures
  • Discoloration of the tooth
  • Swollen Gums
  • Pain in a tooth previously treated by root canal therapy

It's important to visit an endodontist when symptoms of an infected tooth first emerge. The endodontic experts at Grove Dental are fully qualified to offer you the best in root canal therapy, restoring the tooth's natural appearance and function that can last a lifetime.
