Save Your Tooth. End the Pain.

When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed — due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma — a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth and relieve the pain. Left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to abscess, bone loss, and the spread of infection.

At Accent Family Dentistry in Angier, NC, Dr. Brenda Gong performs root canal therapy with a gentle, patient-focused approach. Modern anesthesia and techniques make the procedure comfortable for the vast majority of patients — most report that it feels no different from getting a filling.

We serve patients from Angier, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Lillington, Holly Springs, Willow Spring, Coats, and Benson, NC.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Common signs that a tooth may need root canal treatment include: severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, darkening of the tooth, swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums, and a persistent pimple on the gums. However, some infected teeth cause no symptoms at all — which is why regular exams and X-rays are so important.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

Dr. Gong will administer local anesthesia to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the procedure. She will then create a small opening in the top of the tooth, remove the infected pulp tissue, clean and shape the root canals, and fill them with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. The tooth is then sealed and, in most cases, a crown is placed at a subsequent visit to protect the tooth and restore its function.

FAQs

Root Canal Treatment in Angier, NC — Frequently Asked Questions

The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia and should be no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients are relieved to find that the root canal eliminates the pain they were experiencing from the infection.

Most root canals can be completed in one or two appointments of 60–90 minutes each, depending on the complexity of the tooth's root canal system.

In most cases, yes. A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment is more brittle and susceptible to fracture. A crown protects the tooth and restores its full function. Dr. Gong will discuss this with you after your root canal.

Root canal treatment has a very high success rate — approximately 95%. With proper restoration and good oral hygiene, a treated tooth can last a lifetime.

In most cases, saving your natural tooth with a root canal is preferable to extraction. Natural teeth function better than any replacement, and preserving your tooth helps maintain the bone and surrounding teeth. Dr. Gong will discuss all options with you.
