Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Treatment Focused on Comfort and Care

Root canal therapy is a restorative dental treatment used to remove infection from inside a tooth and prevent further damage or tooth loss. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, root canal treatment helps eliminate bacteria while preserving the natural tooth structure. This procedure relieves discomfort, restores function, and allows you to continue using your natural tooth rather than needing extraction.

At Harris Family Dentistry, root canal therapy is performed with a focus on comfort, precision, and long-term oral health. If you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or have been told you may need a root canal, call Harris Family Dentistry today at (620) 276-7623 to speak with our team and schedule your appointment.

What to Expect with Root Canal Therapy

Root canal treatment is designed to safely remove infection while protecting the remaining structure of the tooth. Each step of the process focuses on relieving pain, restoring function, and preventing future complications.

  • Evaluation and Diagnosis
    Your dentist examines the affected tooth and uses diagnostic imaging to determine the extent of infection and confirm whether root canal therapy is needed.

  • Removal of Infected Tissue
    The infected pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed to eliminate bacteria and prevent the spread of infection.

  • Cleaning and Sealing the Tooth
    The inner canals are cleaned, shaped, and sealed to protect the tooth from future infection.

  • Restoration of Tooth Strength
    After treatment, the tooth is restored—often with a crown—to reinforce strength and function.

  • Long-Term Preservation
    Root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth and maintain proper bite alignment and oral health.
