Still sounds scary? Cool. Let’s talk about it.
Deep breath. You're not being dramatic. But you also don't need to panic. We've done literally thousands of these, and they're way less intense than you think.
It’s how we clean out the infected, inflamed, or dying nerve inside your tooth — so the pain stops, the infection clears, and you get to keep the tooth in your mouth, where it belongs.
It’s not surgery. It’s not medieval. It’s just really effective and conservative dentistry.
Signs you might need one (aka, stop ignoring these)
- Throbbing or sharp tooth pain, especially when biting
- Sensitivity that lingers long after hot/cold drinks
- Swelling in your gums or jaw
- A pimple-like bump near the tooth
- A tooth that’s darkened, dull, or just feels “off”
If any of these sound familiar, don't wait. The longer you ignore it, the bigger (and more expensive) the problem gets.
