If you’ve been told you need a root canal—or you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain—the team at Cosmetic & Advanced Dentistry is here to help. Our Baltimore practice offers advanced root canal therapy in a refined, patient-focused environment designed to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Known for exceptional cosmetic and implant dentistry, Cosmetic & Advanced Dentistry is proud to offer in-house endodontic treatment with Dr. Ali R. Eghtesadi, working alongside Dr. Ed Lazer and Dr. Andrey Doroshenko. With specialized expertise and advanced technology, our team can diagnose and treat tooth infections quickly and precisely—often saving teeth that might otherwise require extraction.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a highly effective treatment used to save a tooth when the inner pulp becomes infected or inflamed.
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes damaged due to deep decay, trauma, cracks, or repeated dental procedures, it can cause significant pain and lead to serious infection if left untreated.
During root canal therapy, the infected tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, and the canals are sealed to protect against future infection. In most cases, the tooth is then restored with a custom dental crown to strengthen and protect it.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may need root canal treatment if you are experiencing:
- Persistent or severe tooth pain
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Swollen or tender gums
- Tooth discoloration
- A cracked or damaged tooth
- Swelling around the jaw or gums
- A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums
Sometimes infection may not cause obvious symptoms, which is why regular dental exams are essential for early diagnosis.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
One of the most common misconceptions about root canals is that they are painful.
In reality, modern root canal therapy is designed to relieve pain—not cause it. With advanced techniques, precise diagnostics, and effective local anesthesia, most patients report that treatment feels similar to receiving a routine filling.
At Cosmetic & Advanced Dentistry, patient comfort is always a priority. Our experienced team takes every measure to ensure your procedure is efficient, gentle, and as stress-free as possible.

What Happens After a Root Canal?
After treatment, some mild sensitivity is normal for a few days and can usually be managed with over-the-counter medication.
Most patients return to normal activities quickly. To fully protect the treated tooth, a custom crown is often recommended.
Our team will guide you through every step of the healing and restoration process to ensure long-term success.
