Stop persistent tooth pain, treat deep infection, and save your natural tooth with comfortable, precise endodontic care.
Beneath your tooth’s hard enamel lies the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. Deep decay, cracks, or repeated trauma can allow bacteria to reach this pulp, causing severe inflammation or infection. We help you address:
We remove the infected pulp from your tooth, clean the root canals thoroughly, and seal the space to save a tooth that would otherwise need extraction.
We provide prompt emergency relief and treat infected pulp tissue to alleviate severe pain and stabilize your tooth.
We use in-house 3D CBCT imaging to look deep into your tooth roots, view their exact shape, and locate hidden infections.
We completely numb the affected tooth and surrounding area with local anesthesia before beginning so you stay comfortable.
We create a small access opening, remove the infected pulp, clean the root canals, and seal the space against future bacteria.
We place a custom dental crown over your treated tooth to restore its full strength and protect it from fracturing.
When Dr. Mohammad Hammoud evaluates your symptoms, he does not rely on guesswork or surface examinations alone. We use advanced 3D CBCT imaging to visualize the exact internal anatomy of your tooth roots before starting treatment. We show you where the infection is, explain whether the tooth can be predictably saved, and walk you through every step of the process. If a tooth is fractured beyond repair, we tell you straight and discuss your options for replacement.
Lingering hot or cold sensitivity, severe chewing pain, and swelling are strong indicators, but we must perform a clinical examination and take digital images to confirm.
We use local anesthesia to completely numb the tooth before we begin, meaning you should only feel mild pressure during the procedure.
We can often complete root canal treatment in a single visit, though complex root anatomy or severe infections may require two appointments.
Usually, yes. Back teeth handle heavy chewing forces and almost always require a crown to prevent cracking after endodontic therapy.
No. Antibiotics help manage spreading infections or swelling, but they cannot remove infected pulp tissue from inside your tooth.
No. If a crack extends below the gumline or insufficient bone support remains, we cannot predictably save the tooth and will discuss replacement options.
If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or lingering sensitivity, contact our Dearborn team immediately for an urgent evaluation.
