Root canal therapy has a worse reputation than it deserves. The pain people associate with it belongs to the infection, not the treatment, and the treatment is what makes that pain stop. An infected nerve does not settle down on its own; it works outward into the bone around the root, which is why a tooth that aches at night or throbs with heat needs to be looked at rather than waiting out.
At Bluewater Dental, our Juno Beach team clears the infected tissue, seals the canal, and restores the tooth so you keep chewing on your own tooth instead of replacing it. Where the nerve is inflamed but not yet infected, pulp capping is sometimes an option and we will tell you if it applies. Most treated teeth need a crown afterward, and if the tooth genuinely cannot be kept we discuss removal plainly.
Dr. Blake Willoughby leads our Juno Beach practice on Donald Ross Road, where modern technique and proper anesthesia make this a far more ordinary appointment than its reputation suggests.
