Root Canal Therapy
The words “root canal” sound worse than the actual experience — especially when someone takes the time to walk you through it.
Saving a Tooth That’s Worth Saving
A root canal isn’t punishment. It’s a second chance. When decay or injury reaches the nerve inside your tooth, a root canal removes the infected tissue, cleans the canals, and seals the tooth so it can stay in your mouth pain-free.
Dr. Daniel Dafo understands the reputation root canals have. That’s exactly why he explains every step before he starts. The area is fully numbed, nitrous is available, and he checks in with you throughout.
Same-Day Relief When You’re in Pain
If you’re in acute pain, Dr. Dafo prioritizes getting you out of it. In many cases, he can begin the root canal the same day — removing the nerve and placing medication to stop the pain immediately.
