Root Canal Treatment in Pembroke Pines, FL
A root canal in Pembroke Pines can save a badly infected or damaged tooth and stop the pain that comes with it. Dr. Kamran Kiani uses gentle, modern techniques so treatment stays comfortable and straightforward.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal treats infection or damage deep inside a tooth. When the soft tissue in the center, called the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected, we carefully remove it, clean and disinfect the space, and seal the tooth to protect it.
Thanks to modern anesthesia and techniques, most patients say the visit feels much like having a routine filling — and they leave feeling dramatically better once the infection is treated.

- Lingering pain when chewing or biting down
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that does not fade
- A small pimple-like bump on the gums
- Swelling or tenderness in the nearby gum
- A cracked, deeply decayed, or darkening tooth
- Tooth pain that wakes you at night
Some infected teeth cause little or no pain, so the surest way to know is an exam. If you are in severe pain or have swelling, our emergency dentist team can often see you the same day.
Is a Root Canal Painful?
This is the most common worry we hear, and the answer is reassuring. Your tooth and the surrounding area are fully numbed, so the procedure itself relieves pain rather than causing it.
Most patients compare it to a regular filling and feel dramatically better once the infection is treated. Any discomfort is typically from the infection before treatment, not the treatment itself.
Your Root Canal Process
Because a treated tooth can become brittle, we often protect it with a crown — especially back teeth that do the heavy chewing.
Exam & X-ray
We confirm the diagnosis and plan your treatment.
Numb & Clean
After numbing the area, we remove the infected pulp and clean and shape the canals.
Seal & Protect
We seal the tooth and, when needed, protect it with a durable crown.
Root Canal vs. Extraction
Saving your natural tooth is almost always the better long-term choice for your bite and your budget.
| Root canal | Extraction | |
|---|---|---|
| Your natural tooth | Kept | Removed |
| Your bite | Maintains your normal bite | Nearby teeth may shift |
| Visits | Usually one or two visits | Leaves a gap to fill later |
| Next step | Protected with a durable crown | Often needs an implant or bridge |
If a tooth truly cannot be saved, we will talk you through replacement options such as a dental implant.
After Your Root Canal
Recovery is usually easy. It is normal to feel mild soreness for a day or two, which over-the-counter pain relievers handle well.
Try to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until any permanent crown is placed, and keep up your normal brushing and flossing. Call us if you have strong pain or swelling that does not settle.
