Root Canal
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal, also called endodontic treatment or therapy is a dental procedure to help save a tooth with inflamed or infected pulp tissue. If you are having pain while chewing, swollen gums, or sensitivity, you may need this procedure. Our expert Zephyrhills based endodontic team is standing by to save your natural tooth and improve your overall oral health.

Why Do I Need A Root Canal?
If you have swelling, discoloration, severe pain, or sensitivity in your gums or teeth, you may need a root canal. Here are some common reasons for this endodontic therapy:
- Deep Cavity - A basic cavity is a decay near the surface - which can usually be handled with a filling. When the decay/infection reaches the pulp of your tooth, a root canal may be needed to save the natural tooth. Left untreated, you may need an extraction and replacement such as an implant or bridge.
- Cracked or Chipped tooth - Whether it’s from chewing on some hard food, a physical trauma/accident, or pressure from teeth grinding, if a crack extends all the way to the pulp of the tooth, the dentist may recommend a root canal.
- Nerve Tissue Damage - The dental pulp can die from an accident/injury that causes trauma to the nerve tissue. Those with dental crowns are particularly sensitive to this.
It is important to remember that you may still need a root canal even if you are experiencing no pain. This is why it is important to have routine exams to ensure our team can look out for infection or damage.
If you are unsure whether your tooth pain is caused by the need for a root canal or something else but need relief fast, you can schedule an emergency exam.
How Much Does a Root Canal Cost?
Before seeking treatment, you may have concerns over the price of endodontic therapy in the Zephyrhills area. But the sooner you seek relief, the more money you are likely to save!
The price of a root canal procedure will vary based on the complexity of the affected tooth. Molars for example, are more complicated to treat and therefore the treatment plan cost will reflect that. An anterior root canal (canines or bicuspid teeth), is likely to be cheaper.
In many cases, a root canal is cheaper than a tooth extraction, since you do not need a replacement such as implant or bridge. This is why it is important to act quickly and seek restoration before the tooth is beyond saving.
Our team at Zephyrhills Dental will work with you to make sure you understand the price of your root canal treatment before you consent to care. We sometimes have specials for emergency exams or new patients, so call and find out today.

Crowns and Bridges
Bridges and crowns are devices that fit over the existing tooth or implant and are cemented in place, by a dentist. Gaps left by a missing tooth can not only cause the remaining teeth to shift, but it can also lead to gum diseases and TMJ disorders.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease or injuries. The bone is either obtained from a tissue bank or your own bone is taken from the jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee). Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling is a [non-surgical] deep cleaning measure that includes removing plaque from above and below the gumline. The root is also smoothened through planing to allow the tissue to heal and reattach itself to the tooth. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the targeted area and make the procedure much more comfortable. Antibiotics may be recommended as a means of controlling the toxic bacteria from spreading further that cause periodontitis.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease is an infection caused by the bacteria found in plaque, the thin biofilm that constantly forms around our teeth. In response to these bacteria, our immune system produces toxins. Unfortunately, these toxins also target our gums and other supportive tissues, resulting in the infection known as periodontal disease. Without treatment, periodontal disease can have serious consequences for your oral health.
Oral Cancer Screening
The inside of the mouth is normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process. The most serious of these is oral cancer.
We recommend performing an oral cancer self-examination monthly and remember that your mouth is one of your body’s most important warning systems. Do not ignore suspicious lumps or sores.
