Root Canal Treatment in Cornelius, NC

“Gentle, Effective Care to Relieve Pain and Save Your Smile.”

Hearing the words “root canal” often makes patients nervous—but at Skotzko Family, Cosmetic, and General Dentistry, we want to change that. Modern root canal therapy is a safe, comfortable, and effective treatment that relieves pain and preserves your natural teeth.

If you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or infection, a root canal can restore your health and get you smiling again.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. Once cleaned and disinfected, the tooth is sealed and restored with a crown or filling, preventing further damage while keeping your natural tooth intact.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

  • Severe tooth pain when chewing or biting

  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold

  • Swollen or tender gums

  • Darkening of a tooth

  • A pimple-like bump on the gum near a tooth

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t delay—early treatment can prevent the need for extraction.
