Root Canal Therapy for Tooth Pain in Yuma

Root canal therapy for tooth pain with a Yuma dentist in Fortuna Foothills

Suffering from the pain of a deeply infected tooth isn’t just a minor inconvenience, it’s a serious issue that can worsen quickly if left untreated. An untreated infection may lead to tooth loss, bone damage, or the need for more invasive dental procedures.

At The Yuma Dentist, we’re here to help patients in Yuma and Fortuna Foothills get relief from infection and emergency tooth pain. In the past, an infected tooth often had to be removed. Thanks to modern dentistry, root canal therapy now allows us to preserve and protect infected teeth, often saving them from extraction.

Resolving Painful Symptoms with Root Canal Therapy

A root canal is a restorative treatment that removes infection from the inside of the tooth. Our Yuma dentist team carefully cleans out the infected pulp, disinfects the root canals, and seals the space to prevent future issues. Most root canals are followed by a dental crown to restore strength and function to the tooth.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

There are a few common symptoms that may indicate a deep tooth infection and the potential need for root canal therapy:

  • Extreme Tooth Sensitivity: Especially if it persists after eating or drinking hot or cold items, or is combined with other symptoms.
  • Abscesses: If you notice a bump or swelling on your gums near a tooth, it could be an abscess caused by an infection.
  • Swollen or Tender Gums: Persistent swelling or discomfort in the gums around a tooth may point to an underlying infection.


At The Yuma Dentist, we use the latest in dental technology to ensure that your root canal is precise, efficient, and as comfortable as possible. Our caring team is committed to making your experience a positive one from start to finish.
