Root Canal Treatment in Merritt Island, FL

Relieve Tooth Pain & Save Your Natural Tooth

If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, you may need a root canal in Merritt Island. At Island Smiles, we specialize in gentle, effective root canal therapy to eliminate infection, relieve discomfort, and preserve your natural teeth—helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a lifesaving dental procedure designed to rescue a severely infected or damaged tooth from extraction. By removing the infected pulp, disinfecting the tooth’s interior, and sealing it with a biocompatible material, we can:

 

  • Stop the spread of infection
  • Alleviate pain and sensitivity
  • Restore your tooth’s function and appearance

Signs You May Need a Root Canal:

Don’t ignore these warning signs—schedule an appointment if you experience:
🔴 Persistent toothache (especially when chewing)
🔴 Sensitivity to hot/cold that lingers
🔴 Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth
🔴 Tooth discoloration (darkening)
🔴 Pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess)
🔴 Bad breath/taste from infection

The Root Canal Process: What to Expect

At Island Smiles, we ensure a comfortable, stress-free experience with modern techniques:

  1. Exam & X-rays
    • We assess your tooth’s condition with digital imaging.
  2. Local Anesthesia
    • The area is completely numbed for a pain-free procedure.
  3. Pulp Removal & Cleaning
    • The infected pulp is removed, and canals are disinfected.
  4. Sealing & Restoration
    • The tooth is sealed with gutta-percha, then protected with a crown or filling for long-term durability.

Does a Root Canal Hurt?

Thanks to advanced anesthesia, most patients report minimal discomfort—often less than the pain caused by the infection! Post-procedure soreness can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
