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.

The tooth extraction went very well. The dentist provided a pain free experience. However when I called the week before and explained to the secretary it was an emergency, I had an abcessed tooth, had no medicine or antibiotic and could I speak to the dentist or get a call back, she did not pass on the message. I had to go to a walk in clinic and wait with the place filled with very sick people to get an antibiotic. My normally low blood pressure was 147 over whatever. The dentist said she would have called back. Other than that it is always a pleasant place.

Nobody likes going to the dentist, but the care and courtesy that they give to the patients at Guilford Hills Dental is absolutely phenomenal. Katie, my hygienist, was terrific. She explained to me in detail what the issues were and what I need to do to take better preventative care of my teeth. Also, Dr Fulton is as top notch as they ge. Extremely knowledgeable, but also makes you feel at ease and gives clear instructions as well. Highly recommend!

Fabulous dentist and hygienist. After a terrible year of dental work at a dental clinic called Monocacy Dental in Frederick, I found this clinic thanks to being referred by a friend. I drive an hour from home to get here, and it’s worth it to me every time. My ONLY complaint is that the office staff is a little frazzled sometimes and so they perhaps get a little forgetful. I had appointments canceled that shouldn’t have been and had to reschedule and then there was a mix up in times. That being said, they still squeezed me in despite it not being the right time. So canceling me when they shouldn’t have and then having a time mix up doesn’t bother me enough to even dock half a star. Dr Fulton and his hygienist Angie were super accommodating and understanding. The clinic is clean, comfortable, and inviting. Dr Fulton and Angie are incredibly patient and kind and really know what they’re doing and how to make you the most comfortable. I love this dentist office and wish it wasn’t so far away.

Extremely friendly, warm environment Excellent, professional care Dr. Fulton did a great job today dealing with my dental needs. At my last visit, he inserted a crown that didn’t fit correctly. He tried adjusting it, but to no avail. He sent it back to the lab and ordered a new one rather than settling for mediocrity. I appreciated that immensely. Definitely recommend this caring, compassionate group for dental care. They put their patients first! 😀

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.
