Root Canals In Mukilteo

Relieve Tooth Pain with Expert Root Canal Treatment in Mukilteo

At Harbour Pointe Dental Arts, we know how disruptive tooth pain can be. When infection or damage reaches the inside of your tooth, a root canal may be the best way to save it. Dr. Cline provides gentle, effective root canal treatment to remove infection, relieve discomfort, and preserve your natural tooth—all while keeping your comfort a top priority.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation in the pulp—the soft tissue inside your tooth. During the procedure, Dr. Cline removes the damaged tissue, thoroughly cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future infection. The tooth is then restored with a filling or crown to bring back its full function and appearance.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

Persistent Tooth Pain or Sensitivity

Ongoing pain when chewing or sensitivity to hot and cold may indicate an infection deep within the tooth.

Swelling Near the Tooth

Swelling of the gums or jaw around a tooth can be a sign that the infection is spreading.

Darkening or Discoloration

A tooth that’s turning gray or dark could mean the nerve is damaged or dying.

Gum Tenderness or Abscess

Pimple-like bumps on the gums near a tooth often indicate an abscess or infection that requires treatment.
