The Treatment That Saves Your Tooth
A root canal is a simple, effective procedure designed to remove infection and protect your natural tooth. By cleaning out the damaged pulp inside the tooth, we eliminate pain at its source while preserving your tooth’s structure.
Instead of opting for an extraction and costly replacements, our Towson root canal allows you to keep your smile intact, avoid further complications, and restore full function to your tooth, all in just one or two visits. Book your consultation at Towson Smile Care today.
Why Choose a Root Canal?
Eliminates pain for good
Toothaches can be unbearable. A root canal removes the infection, instantly relieving discomfort.
Saves your natural tooth
Extractions leave gaps and require costly replacements. A root canal preserves your tooth for years to come.
Quick & virtually painless
Forget the old myths—modern root canals are fast and no more uncomfortable than a simple filling.
Prevents further infections
A root canal-treated tooth is fully cleaned and sealed, stopping bacteria from causing future issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do root canals last?
A well-done root canal, combined with a proper crown, can last decades, even a lifetime. The key is maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Do I really need a root canal?
If a tooth is infected or severely decayed, a root canal is often the best way to save it. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to more serious health issues.
Is it better to get a root canal or pull the tooth?
Whenever possible, saving your natural tooth is ideal. Root canals allow you to keep your natural bite and prevent bone loss. However, in cases of extreme damage, extraction may be necessary.
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern techniques and anesthesia make root canals much more comfortable than their outdated reputation suggests. Most patients compare it to getting a filling.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals can be completed in one to two appointments, depending on the severity of the infection and whether a crown is needed.

Patient Experiences
"I have been to a lot of doctors, and Dr. Rafik was the first one to have a different approach.
There is a good atmosphere, and for someone like me who has had teeth issues, that’s so important. I don’t have my fear of dentists anymore".
