What is a root canal?
Dental pain isn’t always straightforward. Issues like deep decay, cracked teeth, or infection can cause discomfort that radiates beyond the problem tooth, sometimes into the jaw, head, neck, or even the ear. This is because the teeth and gums are connected to a complex network of nerves.
A root canal is a specialized treatment that removes the infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth, relieves pain, and helps you keep your natural tooth. At Marina Endodontics, Dr. Sadek uses advanced techniques to pinpoint the exact source of your discomfort and provide treatment that’s both effective and gentle.

Request AppointmentWhat is an endodontist?
An endodontist is a dental specialist focused on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth, such as infections, inflammation, and injuries to the dental pulp. Most commonly, endodontists perform root canal treatments and other procedures to save natural teeth.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Signs you might need a root canal include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling in the gums, or discomfort when chewing. However, not all symptoms are obvious, which is why a professional evaluation is important.
Is a root canal painful?
Modern root canal treatments are designed to relieve pain, not cause it. With advanced techniques and gentle care, most patients report feeling comfortable throughout the procedure.
How long does a root canal take?
Many root canals can be completed in one appointment, depending on the complexity of the case. More challenging cases may require an additional visit to ensure the tooth is thoroughly treated.
Why see an endodontist for a root canal instead of a general dentist?
Endodontists have additional years of specialized training, use advanced tools, and perform these procedures every day, which often leads to more precise treatment and higher success rates.
Can every tooth be saved with a root canal?
While our goal is always to preserve your natural tooth, in certain cases, such as severe fractures or advanced decay, other options. Dr. Sadek will give you an honest assessment and explain all your choices.
What happens after a root canal?
After treatment, most patients experience relief from pain and can return to normal activities quickly. A permanent restoration, such as a crown, is often recommended to protect the tooth long-term.
