What is a Root Canal?

Why Root Canals?

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.


At Burroughs Endodontics, we use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your root canal treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.

Can You Get a Root Canal on a Broken Tooth?

Yes. Sometimes a root canal is necessary on a cracked tooth. Especially when the crack has extended into the pulp , a root canal treatment with a crown can be used to clean and protect the cracked tooth from expanding. However, if the crack extends below the gum line, it is no longer treatable, and the tooth cannot be saved and will need to be extracted.
