Root Canal Therapy in
Pocatello, ID
Root canal treatment can relieve pain caused by a diseased or infected pulp. The pulp lies in the center of the tooth. It contains nerves, soft tissues, and blood vessels, and it cannot repair itself.
Root canal treatment is required to save the natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction and replacement. Our SmileMakers Dental professionals will work with you to eliminate toothache, protect your smile, and give you a comfortable root canal procedure.

Tooth Infection Treatment
Root canal treatment is the most common dental care procedure surrounding the diseases affecting the inside of the teeth, and it is used to reverse the effects of tooth infection.
When the tooth’s pulp(nerve and blood vessel tissue within the tooth) becomes inflamed or infected, tooth infection treatment may be needed to prevent decay, cracks, chips, or injuries. If the tooth infection isn’t treated promptly, severe pain or tooth abscess may develop.
