Root Canal Therapy in Coral Gables, FL

Save Your Natural Tooth with Gentle, Expert Care at Minty Fresh

If you’re dealing with severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around a tooth, you may need Root Canal Therapy. While the phrase may sound intimidating, the reality is that root canals are safe, routine procedures that relieve pain and save teeth from extraction.

At Minty Fresh, located in Coral Gables, FL, Dr. Jenny Hernandez provides gentle, effective root canal therapy using modern technology and a compassionate approach to make your experience as stress-free as possible.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth’s pulp (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels). When decay, trauma, or deep cavities reach this area, a root canal becomes necessary to eliminate pain and preserve the tooth.

Rather than removing the tooth, the infected pulp is carefully cleaned out, the root canals are disinfected, and the inside is sealed. The tooth is then restored—typically with a dental crown—to protect and strengthen it for long-term use.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If you’re experiencing any of the following, contact us right away:

• Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
• Sharp pain when biting or chewing
• Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold
• Swelling or tenderness near the tooth
• A small bump or pimple on the gum
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth

Early intervention can often save the tooth before more serious issues develop.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

At Minty Fresh, we make every step of your root canal as comfortable and efficient as possible:

1. Digital Imaging & Diagnosis
   Dr. Jenny Hernandez uses advanced imaging to evaluate the tooth and confirm whether root canal therapy is needed.

2. Anesthesia for Comfort
   The area is fully numbed to ensure a pain-free procedure. Most patients compare it to getting a regular filling.

3. Cleaning & Shaping the Canal
   Infected pulp tissue is removed, and the inside of the root canals is disinfected and shaped.

4. Filling & Sealing
   The space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.

5. Restoration
   In most cases, a crown is placed shortly after to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
