How do I know if I need a root canal?
Persistent pain, sensitivity, or signs of infection are reasons to get evaluated, but only an exam can confirm the cause.

Root Canal Treatment in Woodbridge, VA
Root canal treatment may be recommended when the inside of a tooth is inflamed or infected and the goal is to preserve the tooth when possible.
When you may need it
- • You have lingering tooth pain, pressure, or sensitivity.
- • A dentist has told you that a tooth may be infected or needs endodontic treatment.
