At White Bear Smiles, we provide Root Canal Treatment in a calm and relaxed environment. Modern root canal therapy is painless and highly effective, primarily when performed by our dentists in White Bear Lake, Dr. Anderson and Dr. Swift.

Leaving a root canal infection to fester can cost you your tooth and promote the spread of infection, which leads to more pain. Remember, root canal therapy eases pain. It is the infection that causes all the discomfort. 

What Is Root Canal Awareness Month All About?

Root canal awareness month is a time to dispel the myths surrounding this treatment and an opportunity to remind patients that we perform gentle root canal therapy in our dental office. It's also a time to emphasize prevention and how regular dental care and excellent oral hygiene can significantly lower your risks for these painful infections. 

It's important to remember that modern dental offices use advanced techniques and technologies designed for our comfort. 

Why Root Canals Matter

As written, ignoring root canal pain can lead to tooth loss, and the discomfort will only worsen without treatment. Root canals are an alternative to extraction when the tooth chamber is inflamed and infected. Root canals also prevent the issue from moving to neighboring teeth.
