Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may need root canal therapy if you experience:
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Sharp pain when chewing or biting
- Tooth discoloration or darkening
- Swollen or tender gums near the tooth
- A recurring pimple on the gums
- Deep decay or a cracked tooth
Don’t ignore these symptoms — early treatment prevents bigger problems.
Our Root Canal Treatment Process
Dr. Kim makes the procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible:
- Diagnosis — Digital X-rays and thorough exam to confirm the infection
- Anesthesia — Complete numbing for maximum comfort
- Cleaning — Removal of infected pulp and bacteria from the canals
- Shaping & Disinfection — Canals are carefully cleaned and shaped
- Sealing — Canals are filled and sealed to prevent reinfection
- Restoration — A crown or filling is placed to restore strength and function
Most root canals are completed in a single visit.

Do root canals hurt?Modern root canal treatment is virtually painless. With today’s advanced anesthesia, most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure and only mild sensitivity afterward.
How long does a root canal take?Most root canals are completed in 60–90 minutes in a single visit. Complex cases may require a second appointment.
What happens if I delay root canal treatment?Delaying care can lead to severe pain, swelling, abscesses, bone loss, or eventual tooth loss. Early treatment is always better and more predictable.
Can I get a same-day root canal?Yes. Same-day and emergency root canal appointments are often available. Call (224) 520-8665 to check current openings.
