Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
Most of the time, when a patient struggles with tooth decay, the problem is limited to the surface of the tooth. But if decay is allowed to worsen, it can move beyond the surface of the tooth to the nerve at the very center. When this happens, an infection can develop, causing more advanced symptoms, including:
- Persistent sensitivity to hot and cold foods or drinks
- Dark discoloration on the tooth
- Red, swollen, or inflamed gums
- Pain when biting down
- A pimple-like bump on the gums
If these, or any other warning signs of trouble arise, call us ASAP to schedule an appointment.
The Root Canal Process
Whether we’re treating one tooth or several, the first step is always the same: numbing your mouth. Once you’re ready to begin, Dr. Wilson will access the interior of your tooth and remove all traces of infection from it. Your tooth’s nerve will also be removed before the tooth is filled with a safe, biocompatible material. The final step is to place a protective crown on top to restore its strength and functionality.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
It’s no secret that root canals have a scary reputation. In reality, there’s nothing to fear. In fact, there are several benefits that come with this emergency treatment, including:
- The procedure is virtually painless: Although you may have heard otherwise, root canals don’t hurt. In fact, many patients report that the treatment process is no more cumbersome than a standard filling!
- The process is more convenient than ever before: Your root canal will be performed comfortably and in as few as two appointments. Afterwards, you can look forward to smiling and eating with confidence again.
- Root canals save your natural teeth: When a tooth is infected, there are usually only two options: performing a root canal or performing an extraction. With a root canal, we can restore your oral health without removing your tooth.
- The results are extremely lifelike: Thanks to advancements in dentistry, dental crowns look and feel natural. As a result, no unwanted attention will be drawn to your smile in the years following your root canal.
