I have been seeing Dr Kitts for at least 30 years, since I was a very small child and he was still at the previous office location. Even when I was living in another state, I timed my dentist appointments for my visits back to WA when possible. You cannot find a better dentist. The new office is very well equipped with the latest tech. The team is fantastic - typically I see Brett. I've never had a negative experience, not even when I was a little kid.

Frequently asked questions
Below are responses to questions patients typically ask about root canal procedures. This information provides a general overview of the process, though your specific treatment experience may vary based on your individual case.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that is used to repair a tooth that has become infected or damaged. During a root canal, the infected or damaged portion of the tooth is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then the tooth is sealed.
What happens after a root canal?
After a root canal, you will need to take care of the treated tooth by avoiding hard or sticky foods and maintaining good oral hygiene. You may need to return to the dentist for a follow-up appointment to ensure that the tooth is healing properly.
What causes the need for a root canal?
A root canal is needed when the tooth’s nerve and pulp become inflamed or infected. This can happen due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, cracks or chips in the tooth, or trauma to the face.
What are the alternatives to a root canal?
The alternative to a root canal is to have the tooth extracted. However, it is usually preferable to save the natural tooth whenever possible, as extraction can lead to other dental problems and may require further treatment such as a dental implant or bridge.
Is getting a root canal painful?
While many people think of root canals being synonymous with pain, there is minimal discomfort throughout the service. We will make sure that the area being worked on is completely numb to minimize any discomfort felt.
Can a root canal be prevented?
One way to prevent a root canal is to maintain healthy teeth by visiting your dentist regularly. If damage or decay is present, having these issues corrected before the infection spreads to the root and pulp is the only way to prevent a root canal. In some cases, a root canal can’t be avoided. Often, a root canal is the best solution for eliminating infection and saving the tooth from further decay.
How long does a root canal take?
The length of a root canal procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the case. Simple cases can be completed in one appointment, while more complex cases may require multiple appointments.
