Root canal therapy is a restorative treatment designed to save a tooth that’s severely infected or inflamed at its core. At Hollon & Taylor Dental Fairhope, we perform gentle, efficient root canal procedures that remove the damaged pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent future issues. Despite its reputation, modern root canal therapy is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling, and it can bring fast, lasting relief from pain.
You may need a root canal if you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, or a darkening tooth. In some cases, there may be no pain at all but X-rays reveal infection at the root. This treatment is often the best choice when the tooth is still structurally sound and worth preserving, rather than extracting.
At Hollon & Taylor Dental Fairhope, we know that saving your natural teeth matters. Root canal therapy helps you keep your smile whole, comfortably, safely, and without fear.
