Severe dental pain or swelling around a tooth may be a sign that the pulp has become infected. In order to save the tooth from extraction, Dr. David Edlund may need to perform root canal treatment. Please contact Hampden Dental Care at 303-586-4034 and ask to see our dentist if you believe you have an infected root canal in Lakewood, Colorado, or a nearby community. We want to help you enjoy a healthy, pain-free smile.
