Stop infections
and fix tooth pain!

Root canals are probably the most notorious procedure in dentistry, but also the most misunderstood. While many people view them as “scary,” the truth is that a root canal is an effective treatment to stop pain and save your tooth.

So what is a root canal? When a tooth becomes infected, it’s usually related to the nerves in the root of your tooth. These infected nerves need to be removed. Left untreated, an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem that leads to missing teeth and bone loss in your jaw.

Jackson Family Dental is the trusted place to get a root canal in Liberty. With state-of-the-art technology and years of experience, your root canal treatment will be easier and more comfortable than you thought. We’ll make sure of it.

Dr. Jackson answers your most common questions about root canals

What are the signs of an infected tooth?

Your dentist is the best person to diagnose your need for a root canal, but a few signs to keep an eye out for include:

Constant toothache
Lingering tooth sensitivity
Sore and sensitive jawbone
Chipped or fractured tooth (even small breaks and chips in your teeth can lead to advanced decay and infection)

How long does a root canal take?

A root canal typically takes about 60-90 minutes, and it’s possible your root canal treatment will be divided into two separate appointments. We’ll help you understand what to expect.

How much does it cost to get a root canal?

Dental insurance may cover a portion of your root canal treatment. Before scheduling your treatment, we’ll outline the cost as well payment plans and no-interest financing options that may be available to you.

Are root canals safe?

Yes. Root canals are proven to stop infection and save teeth. Roughly 25 million root canals are performed every year. There is no scientific evidence supporting the connection between root canal-treated teeth and disease or problems elsewhere in the body.

What to expect during a root canal at Jackson Family Dental

We’ll start the procedure by using a local anesthetic to numb the area around the affected tooth.
Dr. Jackson will create an opening in the tooth canal to remove infected tissue, clean the canal, and seal it with a biocompatible material called gutta percha.
We’ll finish your root canal with a custom tooth-colored crown, created right in our office in just 20 minutes.

We want you to know the joy of a happy, healthy smile. When you need to stop decay or save your tooth, we do our best to make your root canal treatment a positive, comfortable, and efficient experience. Your smile is in good hands here.

They always treat me so well, and pamper me with a warm neck pillow and the massaging chair! It definitely takes the stress away, but the hygienists are so excellent at what they do, and Dr. Jackson is very kind.

Everyone here is so very sweet and helpful! they always work with my schedule and help get me an appointment, even if it’s last minute. The office is beautiful and so well run. The best part is they always give you a cookie on the way out.
