About This Treatment

Relieve Tooth Pain & Save Your Natural Tooth

At Creekside Family Dental in Salt Lake City, root canal treatment is designed to remove infection, relieve dental pain, and help save a natural tooth whenever possible. Dr. Cecilia Serrato, DMD, provides personalized care in a calm, supportive environment so patients can understand their options and feel more comfortable throughout treatment.

Pain Relief

Root canal treatment can help relieve discomfort caused by infection, deep decay, or inflammation inside the tooth.

Tooth Preservation

When possible, a root canal helps save your natural tooth and protect your long-term oral health.

When a Root Canal Can Help

A root canal may be recommended when the inside of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a crack, trauma, or repeated dental treatment. Common signs may include tooth pain, sensitivity, swelling, or discomfort when biting.

At Creekside Family Dental, Dr. Cecilia Serrato, DMD, evaluates your tooth carefully and explains your treatment options clearly. The goal of root canal treatment is to remove the source of infection, relieve discomfort, and preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.

After root canal treatment, a dental crown may be recommended to protect the tooth, restore strength, and support comfortable chewing.
