Root Canals
When the inside of a tooth gets infected, a root canal is what saves it from having to be pulled entirely. Most people dread the procedure far more than it deserves because modern techniques make it no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Keeping your natural tooth is almost always the better outcome, and that is exactly what this treatment is designed to do.

Retreatment
When a previous root canal does not fully resolve the infection or symptoms return years later, retreatment removes the old filling material, cleans the canals again, and reseals the tooth. It is a second chance to save a tooth that has already been through one procedure, and Dr. Job handles it in the same office without sending you to a separate specialist.

Emergency Root Canal
A tooth that is throbbing, keeping you up at night, or causing facial swelling needs attention now, not next week. Dr. Job offers same-day emergency access for infected teeth so you get relief the day you call instead of managing the pain with antibiotics and hoping it holds.

Modern root canals are not the procedure people remember dreading from decades ago. The area is fully numbed before anything begins, and most patients say the discomfort afterward is no worse than having a filling done. The bigger risk is waiting too long, because an untreated infection gets harder to numb effectively and more complicated to treat.
Keeping your natural tooth is almost always the better long-term outcome. Once a tooth is extracted, the surrounding bone begins to shrink, and the adjacent teeth gradually shift toward the gap. A root canal saves the root structure that holds all of that in place. Extraction followed by an implant costs significantly more than a root canal and crown combined.
Common signs include persistent throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, swelling in the gums near a specific tooth, or darkening of a tooth. Some infected teeth have no symptoms at all and are only caught on an X-ray during a routine exam. Dr. Job will tell you plainly whether a root canal is necessary and why.
In most cases, yes. Root canal treatment removes the pulp from inside the tooth, leaving the remaining structure more brittle and prone to fracture under normal chewing pressure. A crown caps the tooth and protects it from cracking. Research shows that teeth restored with crowns after root canal treatment have nearly twice the long-term survival rate compared to those left without a crown.
A root canal on a front tooth typically takes sixty to ninety minutes. Molars with multiple canals may take longer or require a second appointment. You will be numb throughout and can drive yourself home afterward. Dr. Job schedules adequate time for each case so the appointment does not feel rushed.
