Stop Your Tooth Infection

Many people worry about root canal therapy, but it shouldn't be scary.

This helpful restorative treatment stops the throbbing pain from a diseased tooth. Root canals can save your tooth from being pulled out.

Your tooth's root canals lead to the center of your tooth, where you have pulp. When cavities go untreated or your tooth gets hurt, bacteria moves into the pulp.

This causes serious pain. A root canal removes this problem and helps you feel better.

The treatment works well and gives you back your smile without the suffering.

Save Your Smile With a Simple Solution

Dr. Fitts makes root canal treatment easy. First, he removes the diseased pulp and cleans inside your tooth. Then he seals the canals with a special material called gutta-percha.

Most patients get a new crown made right in our office to make the tooth strong again.

After treatment, you can bite and chew normally. Your pain will be gone too.

Don't live with tooth pain any longer. Our root canals in Athens, AL will have you feeling great again. Call East Limestone Family Dental today at 256-229-3416.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals

Why have a root canal?
Root canals are needed when the pulp inside the tooth becomes diseased. This can happen either when a cavity goes untreated and infection spreads to the pulp, or when a tooth undergoes some sort of trauma that allows bacteria inside. In either case, we can usually save the tooth with root canal treatment.
Are root canals painful?
Although many people believe that root canal therapy is painful, it is no more uncomfortable than getting a tooth filled. We'll use a local anesthetic to make sure the tooth is numb before we begin your procedure. That way you can relax and feel confident that you're not going to feel any discomfort.
How much does a root canal cost?
Treatment costs can vary greatly for a root canal, so you will need to come in for an initial exam and imaging before we can give you a cost for your particular procedure. For your convenience, we do offer several flexible payment options, including financing through a third party.
