google mapYou probably don’t want to think about root canal treatment if your tooth hurts. However, our Decatur root canals can give you welcome relief from the pain of a nagging toothache. Rather than causing you more pain, a root canal will actually help you feel better. With the skilled touch of Dr. Betts, a 30-plus-year dental veteran, many patients report feeling no more discomfort with this procedure than if they were getting a tooth filled. Our root canal therapy can:
Don’t put up with a hurting tooth! Call us today for a same-day emergency appointment: 256-274-8680. We’ll get you in as soon as possible so you can feel better fast. Also, be sure to ask about our Dental Savings Plan to save money on your treatment.
If you have a severe toothache, it’s likely that the inner portion of your tooth – known as the pulp – has become diseased. Untreated cavities can eventually spread and reach the pulp, leading to infection and causing you a great deal of pain. Not only will your eating be affected, but the pain could be so intense that you’re unable to sleep.
At this point, Dr. Betts will most likely need to perform root canal treatment on your tooth. We’ll help block pain by effectively administrating a local anesthetic. We also offer laughing gas – which will give you an all-over feeling of lightness and euphoria – and we keep pillows and blankets on hand to help you feel as comfortable as possible.
Dr. Betts will:
Not only will your pain be gone, but a root canal will save your tooth from extraction. For the best results, we usually recommend capping your tooth with a dental crown at this point. The crown will strengthen the tooth, restore its beauty, and help keep it fully functional by restoring virtually all your chewing power.

Dr.Betts is first an amazing man that gives back to his community and less fortunate. He is gentle and has amazing character. His staff are super professional and kind. They answered all my questions and discussed my concerns. The office is welcoming and clean. I love this dentist.
Dr Charles Betts is the best dentist in Decatur. He is skillful, kind, knowledgeable and has a wonderful staff. His dental plan is very reasonable and is better than having dental insurance. I highly recommend his dental practice.
Very good visit. Staff is always very friendly and efficient. I moved to Madison but continue the drive to Decatur for Dr Betts.
We have used Dr Betts for many years. Great hygenists and staff. Overall a very professional practice.
Wonderful experience wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Have been using them since Dr. Betts joined Dr. Whitmire years ago. My youngest son had problem on a Saturday and Dr.Betts met us at the office. Called that night to check on him. I have never forgot that and it’s been at least 30 yrs ago. I recommend them all the time.

Amazingly professional staff, which made for a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. Staff are well trained, not only in respect to dentistry but interpersonally as well. Thank you ladies and gents for the exceptional care and attention I was provided. I’d recommend Dr. Betts’ office without hesitation. I wish I could give you all a 10 star rating, but because there isn’t an option to do so I hope you all will settle for a ten star review.
First time I’ve been to a dentist in years and as nervous I was the staff definitely made it easier. Kasey is the absolute best assistant and Dr. Betts himself was great as well. Definitely gonna be my go to dentist from now on..
Dr. Charles F. Betts is the Best Dentist in the World and has a Wonderful Staff as Well,..😊
Root canals are necessary when a tooth has become infected. This happens when bacteria reaches the pulp (the soft tissue found on the inside of a tooth). The bacteria can also cause painful inflammation, which can make it difficult to bite and chew and may interfere with your day-to-day activities. By getting a root canal, you can remove the inflamed and infected tissue and rebuild your tooth.
You can see Dr. Betts right here at our practice for any of your restorative needs, including root canal therapy. Many patients experience less anxiety having a root canal – or any other procedure – performed by a dentist they know in familiar surroundings rather than visiting an outside doctor. If you have a painful toothache, don’t put off calling our office!
Without performing an exam on your mouth, it’s difficult to estimate the total cost of root canal treatment. The cost may be determined by the location of the tooth and the severity of the damage. Plus, we normally recommend capping the repaired tooth with a crown to help strengthen it, so the cost of the crown would need to be figured into the total treatment cost.
