Root Canal Therapy
In-house root canal therapy — including molar endodontics — that clears infection from inside the tooth and keeps the tooth in your mouth.

A root canal does not have to mean a separate trip to a specialist's office. At Diamond Dentistry in Wellington, FL, Dr. Jill Rowland handles endodontic treatment in-house — molars included — so your care stays with the dentist who already knows your history. Modern rotary tools, profound local anesthesia, and optional sedation make the appointment far quieter than the procedure's reputation suggests.
Inside every tooth is the pulp — living tissue containing the nerve and small blood vessels. When deep decay, a fracture, or trauma lets bacteria reach the pulp, the tissue becomes inflamed or infected and the tooth starts to hurt. The treatment cleans the infected pulp out of the inner canals, disinfects them, shapes them, and seals everything off so the tooth can stay in place and keep functioning. Skipping the procedure on an infected tooth almost always ends in extraction.
Keeps a tooth in your mouth that would otherwise be lost
Stops the pain that comes from an inflamed or dying pulp
Heads off the spread of infection into surrounding bone and soft tissue
Most cases stay under one roof — no separate endodontist appointment
The crown that often follows is planned and placed in the same practice
Local anesthesia keeps the tooth fully numb throughout the procedure. Dr. Rowland uses rotary instrumentation to clean and shape the canals efficiently, then seals them. Most teeth that have had a root canal are protected with a crown afterward to restore full chewing strength — she will discuss timing for that at the same visit.
Most root canals, including molars, can be handled comfortably in-house. For complex retreatments, unusual canal anatomy, or surgical endodontics, Dr. Rowland will refer to a trusted local endodontist — she will tell you up front when that is the right call and help coordinate the appointment.
