Root Canal Treatment & Therapy Shreveport, LA

A root canal is a treatment for patients who have a cavity that has begun to work its way deep into the tooth, causing irreparable decay. During your root canal, your dentist, Dr. Gilley, Moore, or Lowder, will numb the area and remove the damaged nerve tissue or pulp. After that, they will fill it, clean the area of infection, and seal it to prevent future complications.

We take great pride in providing our patients with the best care possible during their root canal, as we do understand that this treatment can be worrisome for some patients. If necessary, we also provide nitrous oxide as an option for treatment on a case-by-case basis. Also known as laughing gas, this can help calm your nerves, allowing you to stay awake but still be relaxed. If you are considering nitrous oxide during your root canal, speak with one of our dentists to see if you are eligible for this treatment.

Mona K.
I needed to have a tooth pulled and, as a first time patient, I was very impressed with the atmosphere and kind attitudes of the staff. So much so, that I am requesting my records from my previous dentist be sent to Southern Roots. Dr. Fox was very personable and professional and made eye contact when speaking with me. Although they were busy, I never felt they were rushing through my procedure. I'm glad I found them!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled that you felt welcomed and valued during your visit. Dr. Fox and our team strive to create a comfortable experience. Welcome to the Southern Roots family!
