Root Canal Therapy

A root canal can repair and save a tooth that has become infected or is significantly decayed. Signs that a root canal is needed include:

  • Discoloration of the tooth
  • Swelling and tenderness of the gums around the tooth
  • A pimple on the gums
  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold temperature

Dr. Brian Klym can efficiently and comfortably perform your root canal, often in one office visit. During the procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed from the tooth. The tooth is then cleaned and sealed.


When our patients have have a painful tooth, toothaches or sore teeth, they count on Dr. Klym and our team to get them healthy.
