Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treatment may be necessary if any of the following symptoms occur:
- You are experiencing severe, persistent pain in a particular tooth.
- You have a tooth that is extremely sensitive to hot or cold foods.
- You experience sharp discomfort whenever you bite down on something.
- You have a tooth that is notably darker than the rest of your smile.
- You have noticed red or swollen gums around a specific tooth.
- You can see a pimple-like bump on your gums.
An examination will be required to determine whether a root canal treatment is truly required, so please call to schedule an appointment with us as soon as you notice any of the warning signs listed above.
The Root Canal Process
At the beginning of your root canal treatment, we will use a local anesthetic to numb your mouth. This simple step will help you stay comfortable during your procedure. After that, we will create an opening in the tooth so that we can work with the inner chambers where the pulp is located.
With the help of special instruments, we will take the pulp out of your tooth before thoroughly sanitizing the area. Our goal will be to make sure that there are no harmful bacteria left behind. Once the cleaning process is complete, we can fill the tooth with a synthetic material called gutta-percha. After that, we’ll reseal the tooth. A crown will most likely need to be placed to ensure that the tooth is sufficiently protected.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
If your dentist tells you that you need a root canal treatment, it’s generally best to have the procedure performed as soon as possible. Doing so will let you avoid the following benefits:
- You will be able to put a stop to your tooth infection before it can spread and cause more severe health issues.
- You can save your tooth from needing to be extracted, thus allowing you to maintain a beautiful, natural smile.
- You can say goodbye to the pain that your tooth infection was causing you.
