Root Canal Treatment

Removing the source of the pain, saving the tooth.

A root canal in Greenville, SC is how we save the tooth — the pain you're feeling is the infection, not the treatment. With modern anesthetic and rotary instruments, root canal treatment at Todays Dental Greenville feels like a long filling, and same-day emergency slots mean the throbbing can stop today. We'll show you the X-ray, explain why the nerve is done, and quote the root canal and crown together so there's no second surprise. Call 864-999-9899 now.

Root Canal Treatment
01

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The treatment involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it.

A root canal becomes necessary when the tooth's pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated procedures, or a crack in the tooth.

Root Canal Cost and Aftercare

The cost of root canal treatment can vary depending on the tooth involved and the insurance coverage you have. We offer transparent pricing and accept most insurance plans.

Root canal treatments are safe, with minimal long-term side effects when performed by experienced dentists. Proper care can ensure a lifetime of oral health.

After the procedure, avoid hard or sticky foods until your crown is securely placed.

Why Timely Treatment Matters

Delaying treatment can lead to severe infection, abscess formation, and even tooth loss.

While root canals are a standard dental procedure, maintaining good oral hygiene can reduce the need for such treatments.

Do root canals hurt?

With profound numbing, treatment feels like pressure, not pain — most patients say it beats the toothache that brought them in. Sedation is available if dental anxiety is the real hurdle.

How much does a root canal cost?

Molar root canals run $900-$1,400 plus the crown; front teeth less. We quote both together up front. Insurance typically covers 50-80% of endodontic treatment.

Should I just pull the tooth instead?

Extraction is cheaper today and more expensive forever — shifting teeth, bone loss, and an eventual implant or bridge. Where the tooth is savable, saving it usually wins. We'll show you both paths.

How fast can I be seen for the pain?

Call 864-999-9899 — infected-tooth pain qualifies for our same-day emergency slots, and antibiotics can be started immediately when needed.
