Root Canals.
Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root, prevent reinfection, and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.
How do you know if you need a root canal? Root canals are needed for a cracked tooth from injury or genetics, a deep cavity, or issues from a previous filling. Patients generally need a root canal when they notice their teeth are sensitive, particularly to hot and cold sensations.
There are a few symptoms that mean you might need a root canal:
- Severe pain while chewing or biting
- Pimples on the gums
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed
- Swollen or tender gums
- Deep decay or darkening of the gums
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, give us a call to discuss treatment options with our dentist.
Benefits of Root Canals:
- Pain Relief: Root canals remove infected or damaged pulp, eliminating severe tooth pain, sensitivity, and swelling, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile comfortably while preventing further complications in surrounding teeth and gums.
- Preserve Natural Teeth: Root canals save natural teeth from extraction, maintaining bite alignment, jaw stability, and oral function, while preventing the need for bridges or implants and supporting long-term dental health.
- Prevent Infection Spread: Treatment removes harmful bacteria from the tooth’s interior, preventing abscesses, gum disease, and additional infections that could compromise oral and overall health, protecting surrounding teeth and bone structure.
