Root Canal Therapy

Relieve Pain & Save Your Tooth with Root Canal Therapy

A tooth infection doesn’t just cause pain—it can lead to swelling and serious health complications if left untreated. When bacteria reach the pulp of your tooth, it can result in intense discomfort and potential damage to surrounding teeth and tissues.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal:
Severe toothache or lingering pain.
Increased sensitivity to hot or cold.
Swollen or tender gums.
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
Pimple-like swelling on the gums.

Root canal therapy is a safe and effective way to remove the infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth—helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile.

If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity, persistent pain, or swelling, don’t wait! Call Luf Dental at 254-773-2197 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Howard Lufburrow for expert root canal therapy in Temple, Texas.

Restore & Protect Your Smile with Root Canal Therapy

When decay or injury reaches the inner pulp and nerves of a tooth, it can lead to infection, pain, and serious oral health complications. Without timely treatment, the tooth may die, requiring extraction. Fortunately, root canal therapy offers a safe and effective way to save your natural tooth and restore its function.

Why You May Need a Root Canal:
Severe tooth decay or deep cavities.
Tooth injury or trauma.
Persistent pain or sensitivity.
Swollen, tender, or infected gums.
Darkening or discoloration of a tooth.
