Root Canal Kahului

Wave Goodbye to Tooth Pain

At Island Smiles Dental Care in Kahului, our expert root canal treatments bring relief and restore your smile. With advanced technology and a gentle approach, we make the process quick, easy, and comfortable, so you can get back to enjoying life pain-free.

What is a
Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is more than just a procedure—it's a chance to save your natural tooth and end dental discomfort. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or cracks, a root canal is the solution. During the treatment, our experienced dentist will carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the interior of the tooth, and seal it to prevent further infection. This process not only alleviates pain but also protects your tooth from future damage, preserving your natural smile for years to come. At Island Smiles Dental Care, we ensure the process is as stress-free as possible, so you can feel at ease from start to finish.

When Do You
Need a Root Canal?

It's essential to address dental issues early. Here are some signs that might indicate you need a root canal. If you're experiencing any of these, it's time to see us:

    • Throbbing tooth pain that doesn't go away.
    • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
    • Swollen or tender gums around a particular tooth
    • Darkening of the tooth, indicating damage
    • A recurring pimple on the gums

What to Expect During
Your Root Canal at Island Smiles Dental Care?

    • Comprehensive Exam: We start with a detailed examination, using digital X-rays to pinpoint the problem.
    • Comfort First: Our team uses advanced local anesthesia techniques to ensure you feel nothing but relief.
    • Precise Treatment: We carefully remove the infected pulp, clean out the canals, and fill them with a special material.
    • Protecting Your Tooth: Once treated, we seal the tooth and may recommend a crown to protect it and restore its strength.

Aftercare Tips for
a Speedy Recovery

After your root canal, we want to make sure you heal quickly and comfortably. Here are some tips to help you recover:

    • Rest Up: Take it easy for the rest of the day to allow your body to start the healing process.
    • Watch What You Eat: Stick to soft foods for the first couple of days and avoid chewing on the treated side.
    • Keep it Clean: Continue your regular brushing and flossing routine to keep your mouth clean. Be gentle around the treated tooth.

If you experience any discomfort or have concerns, our team is just a phone call away.

Best Dentist on Maui

Highest regard to the level of service and skill at this practice. My dental hygienist was the most tactful and comprehensive I have experienced since leaving my holistic hygienist on Oahu. Finding this level of care here in Maui is such a comfort. Mahalo for making me feel comfortable and cared for.

I had 2 caps replaced today. I was able to get an appointment right away. I like Dr. Brooks. He was very good about letting me know what to expect during the procedure and kept me informed about what he was doing before he transitioned to each part of the procedure. It helped decrease any anxiety. His technician, Casey was so sweet and caring. All the way to the ladies running the front desk, I felt very comfortable and confident with my care. Thank you, Island Smiles Dental Care! 😁

My sisters referred me to Island Smiles Dental Care so I set up an initial appointment to try them out. I had to reschedule, but they were able to fit me into a last-minute appointment when I called again. The entire process of getting X-rays and the cleaning with Dr. Stanley went well. He was attentive to my concerns and dental history. I have to go back to get some work done, but I'm happy it was discovered when it was
