Treat the infection and keep your natural tooth

Tooth pain, lingering sensitivity, or swelling can signal an infection inside the tooth. A root canal removes the infected tissue, disinfects the space, and helps you keep your tooth so you can chew comfortably again. When you need a Fort Myers root canal dentist, Batista Dental Health keeps the process calm, clear, and comfort-focused.
With our approach, you can expect:
  • A gentle numbing technique designed to reduce sting and pressure (buffered anesthetic and slow delivery)
  • Modern endodontic instrumentation with Protaper files for efficient, precise cleaning
  • Oral sedation options for patients who feel anxious
  • Clear visuals and imaging when needed to guide the next step

How root canal treatment works

Step 1:
Pinpoint the cause

We start with an exam and imaging to confirm the tooth causing the problem. Then we explain what we see and discuss whether root canal therapy is the best way to save the tooth.

Step 2:
Get you
comfortable

We numb gently and take our time. If you feel nervous, ask about oral sedation so you can relax through treatment.

Step 3:
Clean and disinfect the canals

We remove the infected tissue and clean the canal system using Protaper files. This step helps remove bacteria and prepares the tooth for a strong seal.

Step 4:
Seal, protect, and plan the next step

We seal the tooth to help prevent reinfection and review what comes next. Many teeth need a crown after a root canal to reduce the risk of fractures, especially molars.

Comfort options for anxious patients

If dental visits feel stressful, you are not alone. Our team uses comfort-first numbing and can offer oral sedation in appropriate cases.

Flexible options for every patient

Every patient deserves high-quality care without financial stress. That’s why we’re fee-for-service, with clear pricing and flexible CareCredit options. We’ll always review costs before treatment and support you in using out-of-network benefits.

When a root canal becomes an emergency

A root canal can feel urgent when infection or inflammation builds pressure inside the tooth. If pain spikes suddenly, swelling appears, or you can’t sleep because of throbbing, call us right away. Getting care early can ease discomfort faster and help you save the tooth.
Signs you may need emergency root canal care:
  • Strong toothache that won’t calm down
  • Pain that wakes you up at night
  • Swelling in the gum, face, or jaw
  • A pimple-like bump on the gum (possible drainage)
  • Pain when biting or tapping the tooth
  • Hot or cold sensitivity that lingers
  • A cracked tooth followed by sharp, deep pain
