Dr. Erik Johansson
General dentist, root canal care
Root canal care for teeth worth saving.
Dr. Erik Johansson treats teeth with deep decay, a crack or an infection, including root canal treatment. He uses X-rays to show you what he sees, then explains whether the tooth can be saved and what the alternatives are.
He numbs the area before he starts and stops when you ask. Most people feel pressure rather than pain. Afterward he explains what is normal, what is not and when to call us.
Care is provided by a general dentist, who refers you to an endodontist when your case calls for one.
