Comfortable Treatment for Infected Root Canals
Tooth decay is one of the most common dental concerns—and in some cases, a simple filling just isn’t enough.
When infection reaches deep inside the tooth, root canal treatment becomes the recommended solution to stop the damage and preserve the tooth.

What Root Canal Treatment Means
A root canal refers to the inner chamber of your tooth’s root, which stretches down into your jawbone. This space houses the tooth’s pulp—its soft tissue core made up of nerves, blood vessels, and other vital structures that keep the tooth alive.
When internal decay reaches this area, it puts those tissues at risk of infection. Left untreated, the infection can extend beyond the tooth itself. Root canal treatment works by:
- Gently accessing the pulp chamber and root canal
- Remove harmful bacteria and infected tissue from within the tooth
- Sanitizing the space to eliminate lingering bacteria
- Filling the cleaned areas with durable, biocompatible material
- Sealing the tooth with a natural-looking crown for protection and strength
This process not only helps preserve your natural tooth but also protects your overall oral health from further complications.

Put Your Dental in Good Hands
I've been seeing Dr. Ethan Roos at Dimples Dentistry for over 5 years and have always been happy with the care I've received here. The staff has always been very welcoming, as if you are part of the family. I highly recommend!!
Called Dimples and wish I called them first. Their receptionist was SO kind and SO helpful. Even offered to call to have my records sent to them in hopes to save me some money from doing x rays again. She was nothing but sweet! Got me scheduled within 2 days. Went above and beyond and was kind when I arrived.
Dr. Roos and his staff are incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable, even for those without insurance. We had an excellent experience with a dental emergency exam; they also had availability to fit us in for a routine exam and cleaning after the emergency exam.
