Endodontic Treatment Services

Expert Endodontics and Root Canals in Athens, AL

If you're experiencing tooth pain or discomfort from a damaged or infected tooth, Athens Dental Services Inc is here to help. We provide endodontics and root canal treatments that'll help relieve toothaches and protect your natural tooth.

Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called the dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue and helps the root of your tooth grow during development. In a fully developed tooth, the tooth can survive without the pulp because the tooth continues to be nourished by the tissues surrounding it. This means that we can save your natural tooth by removing infected pulp.

If your dentist or endodontist has told you that you need root canal treatment, you're not alone. Millions of teeth are treated and saved yearly with endodontic root canal treatments. Modern endodontic treatment is very similar to routine fillings and can usually be completed in one or two appointments depending on the condition of your tooth and other personal circumstances. The common belief that basic root canals are painful is a misconception, as the true pain comes from the infected tooth prior to treatment.

At Athens Dental Services Inc, you can expect a comfortable experience during and after your appointment. Call us today to schedule an appointment with dentists with over 40 years of experience you can trust.
