Expert Root Canal Treatment at Baymeadows Park Dental
If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need a root canal—and you're not alone. At Baymeadows Park Dental, we offer expert endodontic care in Jacksonville to relieve pain and save natural teeth using today’s most advanced techniques.
What Does an Endodontist Do?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the inside of the tooth. A root canal treatment involves removing infected or inflamed pulp tissue from within the tooth, cleaning and sealing the space, and restoring the tooth with a crown if needed. Dr. Franklin Rios and our skilled team provide gentle and efficient root canal treatment right here in our Baymeadows office—no need for a specialist referral in most cases.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
Not sure if you need a root canal? You may benefit from endodontic treatment if you're experiencing:
- Sharp or throbbing pain when biting or chewing
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- A cracked, broken, or darkened tooth
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- A pimple-like bump on the gums (possible abscess)
If you're unsure, don’t wait. Call our team—we’ll get you in for a quick diagnostic exam and imaging.
The Root Canal Procedure, Explained
Despite the myths, root canals are routine and typically pain-free—especially with the modern technology we use at Baymeadows Park Dental. Here’s what to expect:
- Diagnosis with digital X-rays
- Numbing the area for complete comfort
- Removal of infected pulp from the root canal space
- Cleaning and sealing the canal
- Restoring the tooth with a filling or crown for strength
Most treatments are completed in a single visit, and you’ll be able to return to work or normal activities the next day.
Is a Root Canal Painful?
This is one of the most common questions we hear. The truth is, a root canal relieves pain—it doesn’t cause it. With modern anesthetics, dental sedation, and advanced tools, your procedure will be comfortable and stress-free.
We Accept Insurance & Offer Financing
We are in-network with most PPO insurance plans and will file claims on your behalf. Our team can also provide a complimentary benefits check before treatment so you know exactly what’s covered.
No insurance? No problem. We offer flexible payment options, including CareCredit and Sunbit, both with interest-free financing available for qualified patients.
