If you’re a patient in Haverhill, MA dealing with a persistent toothache, prolonged sensitivity, or swelling near a tooth, Dr. Gary C. Demetriou, DMD offers gentle, non-surgical root canal treatment at his North Andover dental office — close enough to Haverhill to get you the relief you need without a long drive.
The reputation root canals have for being painful is outdated. Most patients tell us the procedure was far easier than they expected — and the relief from the infection afterward made the whole experience worth it.

What Root Canal Treatment Covers
- Removal of infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth

- Relief from severe toothache, dental abscess, and prolonged hot or cold sensitivity
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Don’t wait on these symptoms — contact our office as soon as possible if you notice:
- Severe or throbbing tooth pain that does not ease up
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers long after the source is removed
- Swelling or tenderness in the gum tissue near a tooth
- A small pimple-like bump on the gum (often a sign of abscess)
- Darkening or discoloration of a single tooth

The earlier an infection is treated, the simpler the process tends to be. Waiting only allows the infection to spread and the situation to become more complicated.

Root Canal FAQs
Is a root canal painful?
Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. The area is fully numbed before anything begins, and the discomfort is typically no worse than a standard filling. The infection itself is almost always more painful than the treatment.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Most non-surgical root canals are completed in one to two appointments of roughly 60 to 90 minutes each, depending on the complexity of the tooth involved.
What happens after the root canal is done?
The tooth is sealed and typically restored with a crown to protect it long-term. Dr. Demetriou will walk you through the next steps clearly before you leave the office.
Is it better to just pull the tooth instead?
Saving your natural tooth is almost always the better long-term choice. A root canal preserves the tooth, maintains your bite, and avoids the cost and complexity of replacement options like implants or bridges down the road.
