At Apex Endodontics, we specialize in providing painless, precise, and compassionate root canal treatments in San Jose, CA. Our team, led by skilled endodontic specialists, uses the latest dental technology to save your natural teeth and eliminate pain caused by infection or inflammation in the dental pulp.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a common endodontic procedure designed to treat and preserve a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. Instead of extracting the tooth, we remove the damaged pulp, disinfect the root canals, and seal the area to prevent further infection—restoring both function and comfort.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

You may need a root canal if you’re experiencing:

• Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity (especially to heat or cold)
  
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  
• A darkened or discolored tooth
  
• A pimple-like bump on the gums
  
• Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
  

If you have any of these symptoms, don’t delay—early intervention is key to preserving your tooth.
