Root Canals

Is there anything dental patients dread more than hearing that they need a root canal? Maybe in the past. But modern root canal therapy is so comfortable that you might even doze off during the procedure!

Dental pain and pressure may be signs that a tooth has sustained irreparable internal damage. A deep cavity, tooth fracture, or trauma can make the canals inside a tooth susceptible to infection. Left untreated, the infection can kill the pulp, or nerve, and cause acute discomfort. Dr. Knox eliminates early-stage infection with a root canal to save a tooth from extraction. He'll clean out the infection, fill the canals with a safe, biocompatible material, and then seal your tooth with a custom crown. A root canal is a conservative therapy that can preserve your smile and protect your oral health.

Call our Fort Worth dental office today to schedule your root canal appointment with Dr. Knox. We serve Benbrook, Aledo, Mira Vista, and surrounding areas with comprehensive care for smiles that are beyond beautiful.
