At Shelby Comfort Dentistry, our team knows the thought of a root canal can be overwhelming. However, we’re here to put your mind at ease. Your dentist and our whole team are dedicated to giving you a comfortable and stress-free experience from start to finish. Dr. Joh utilizes advanced techniques and technology to ensure precise and gentle treatment.
Our non-judgmental approach ensures that you receive the care and support you need, without any unnecessary stress or anxiety. Here is what you can expect from your root canal treatment:
- Planning – The process will begin a thorough examination, including an up-close look with digital X-rays and intraoral cameras. Your dentist will explain the root canal process and answer any questions you may have.
- Preparation – Your dentist will numb your mouth so you can expect a comfortable experience. Headphones, pillows, and blankets are also available to help you feel relaxed during the entire procedure. If needed, you can also receive laughing gas or twilight sedation.
- Procedure – The infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed from the inner portion of your tooth. This area is cleaned and disinfected, then the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection. A temporary crown is usually placed to protect the tooth until your next appointment.
- Long-Term Protection – You’ll return again for a custom dental crown to restore the tooth’s strength and function. Your dentist will review proper oral hygiene habits and may recommend a follow-up checkup.

Common Questions About Root Canals
Root canals are needed when the pulp inside the tooth becomes diseased. This can happen either when a cavity goes untreated and infection spreads to the pulp, or when a tooth undergoes some sort of trauma that allows bacteria inside. In either case, we can usually save the tooth with root canal treatment.
While they have that reputation, most patients find a root canal no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. The procedure eliminates pain; it doesn’t cause it! We’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia so you don’t feel pain. Plus, you may find it easier to relax if you also receive one of our forms of safe dental sedation.
Treatment costs can vary for a root canal, so you will need to come in for an initial exam and imaging before we can give you a cost for your particular procedure. For your convenience, we do offer several flexible payment options, including financing through CareCredit.
