We strive to help you find a solution to your tooth pain and offer an inviting environment to make you feel understood and at peace.
What Does It Mean When Your Dentist Says You Need a Root Canal?
The root canal treatment is used when there is an infected nerve inside of your tooth’s pulp. This infection can cause you a lot of pain when not taken care of. Root canals are the process of going into the infected tooth and removing the infected pulp inside the tooth so that the infection is no longer in the tooth.
Once the tooth has been cleaned, the tooth will be filled with a white filling to seal the tooth, which prevents any future damage and infections from occurring. This tooth-colored sealing not only protects your tooth, but italso makes the end result natural-looking.
During the procedure, our dental office will provide you with a local anesthetic and dental sedation to keep the process pain-free and worry-free. With our advanced dental technology, our dentist is able to completely remove the infection and repair the tooth all while you can relax in the dental chair.
Not only is this process smooth and easy for you, but you get to keep your tooth and live stress-free knowing that your tooth is healthy and protected.
Why You Shouldn’t Be Worried About a Root Canal
There are many ways to know if you have symptoms that would deem a root canal necessary, but the only real way to know if you need one is to ask an experienced dentist and get the x-rays and exams needed to diagnose this. Some of these symptoms that could be related to a necessary root canal include:
- Sharp pointed pain
- Random tooth or gum pain
- Swelling around the area
- Pain from pressure or when biting
- Dull throbbing pain
- Pain or sensitivity to hot and/or cold
Root canals are often necessary when the gums around the tooth are infected. There can be many reasons why gums or your teeth can become infected>
- Deep tooth decay
- Trauma to the teeth
- Cracked/chipped teeth
Getting regular dental cleanings can prevent root canals. While an infected nerve can cause you significant pain that is not the only reason to get it taken care of. In order to protect your overall health, it is important to act fast on infected tooth pulp to avoid more serious issues later on.
