Root Canal Treatment in Columbus, OH

Gentle Care to Relieve Tooth Pain and Save Your Smile

​

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside a tooth. It removes the affected pulp tissue, cleans and disinfects the area, and then seals the tooth to prevent future issues. This treatment helps preserve your natural tooth, relieving pain while avoiding the need for extraction.

If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need a root canal. Our same-day emergency dental care ensures prompt treatment when you need it most.

​

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

• Severe or lingering toothache

• Sensitivity to hot or cold

• Swollen or tender gums

• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth

• A pimple-like bump on the gums

​

If you notice these symptoms, schedule an appointment with our team right away.

What to Expect During Treatment

At Riverview Dental, we prioritize your comfort. Dr. Synthia Chowdhury uses advanced technology and gentle techniques to ensure a stress-free experience. Root canals are performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report relief—not pain—after treatment.

Once the procedure is complete, we typically restore the tooth with a dental crown for long-lasting protection and function.

​

Caring for Your Tooth After a Root Canal

• Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored.

• Brush and floss regularly.

• Attend routine dental cleanings and exams.

• Follow any specific care instructions provided by our team.

With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.
