At Guilford Hills Dental Care, we can utilize root canal therapy to alleviate patients that have had pain inside of a tooth. Whether it’s hot and cold sensitive or when you chew down on it, it can cause shooting or like a shock-like sensation on the tooth. Removing the nerve that’s inside the tooth allows for that pain to go away almost instantaneously.
Patients can be sore for maybe a day or two afterwards, but generally once the root canal has been completed, the pain goes away.

Stop Your Tooth Pain With a Root Canal
We know that many patients feel nervous about root canal treatment. Our caring team takes time to explain each step and ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure. Using advanced technology and gentle techniques, we make root canal therapy a comfortable experience.
The root canal process includes these simple steps:
- Infection Removal – Our team will take digital X-rays to examine your tooth’s structure. Then we’ll thoroughly numb the area, ensuring you feel no discomfort during treatment. Your dentist will create a small opening in your tooth and remove infected tissue from the root canals.
- Cleaning Phase – Special instruments are used to clean and shape the canals. Your dentist will remove all infection and damaged nerve tissue while preserving your natural tooth structure.
- Canal Filling – The cleaned canals are filled with a special material that seals them and prevents future infection. A temporary filling protects your tooth between visits.
- Crown Placement – A custom-made crown will provide the final step in your treatment. This long-lasting restoration protects your treated tooth from damage and restores full chewing function. The crown will match your natural teeth, creating a seamless smile.
Most patients return to normal activities the day after treatment. With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years.
Call Guilford Hills Dental Care today at 717-912-5227 for Chambersburg root canals. You can also make an appointment online.

If the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected, you’ll need to have a root canal or remove the tooth. Otherwise, the infection can worsen and spread to your jaw and even elsewhere in your body, causing potentially serious health issues. You’ll recover more easily from a root canal than an extraction, and it keeps your tooth structure in place.
Although many people believe that root canal therapy is painful, it is no more uncomfortable than getting a tooth filled. We’ll use a local anesthetic to make sure the tooth is numb before we begin your procedure. That way you can relax and feel confident that you’re not going to feel any discomfort.
Treatment costs can vary greatly for a root canal, so you will need to come in for an initial exam and imaging before we can give you a cost for your particular procedure. For your convenience, we do offer several convenient payment options, including financing through a third party.
