Pain in your mouth is no fun. How do you know when it’s just a minor ache or when it’s a bigger problem and I need a root canal?

1. Persistent pain is always the first sign that something is wrong.
2. A chipped tooth
3. If your teeth are sensitive to hot or cold foods
4. A discolored tooth
5. Swollen gums
6. Decay

If you notice any of these signs we can help! Three Rivers Family Dentistry provides root canal treatments in Murfreesboro, TN and surrounding areas. Root canals can be a very anxious procedure for a lot of people however we try to make this process and procedure as pain free and quick as we can.

Badly decaying or infected teeth will be treated with a root canal procedure. This involves cleaning away the inner pulp of the tooth, which contains the damaged nerves responsible for any pain you may have been experiencing. From there, the tooth is sealed so no further damage can occur. Although they sound intimidating, root canal treatments are a painless procedure. We assure that you’ll be feeling much better once your damaged tooth has been repaired.
