Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
Oftentimes, patients assume that – as long as they aren’t in any pain – their teeth are healthy. While dull, consistent discomfort and sharp, stabbing pain are certainly warning signs of dental damage, they aren’t the only ones. Between your biannual visits, we recommend keeping an eye out for other common symptoms, including a pimple-like bump on your gums, persistent sensitivity, and dark discoloration. If that happens, call us ASAP so we can pinpoint both the root of the problem and the best way to treat it.
The Root Canal Process
As we mentioned above, dental damage often comes with considerable discomfort. The reason for the discomfort stems from infected pulp – the center area of a tooth that consists of nerves, blood vessels, and more. By isolating the tooth and creating an opening in its crown, we can go in and clear out the bacteria from the canals and tissues before removing the pulp. When finished, we can fill it with gutta-percha so that it creates a tight seal. After taking impressions of your tooth, we can have a custom dental crown created so that it fits over the vulnerable area, encouraging the tooth to strengthen and function well over time.
Important reminder: If you struggle with dental-related anxiety, a fear of needles, or a sensitive gag reflex, don’t hesitate to let us know! We want to know what we can do to make your experience at our office positive, like adding nitrous oxide to your treatment plan.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
There are many misconceptions about root canals, one of which is that they cause pain. While we cannot deny that you might feel some soreness after your treatment is complete, the goal of root canals is to remove the pain, not cause more of it. Plus, your mouth will be thoroughly numbed beforehand to ensure you can stay calm and comfortable throughout your time in the treatment chair.
Of course, that’s not the only benefit of root canal treatment. This emergency dental treatment also saves your tooth from extraction and has a high success rate. Perhaps even better, the metal-free crowns we offer ensure no unwanted attention is drawn to your smile moving forward.
