Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
Although there are some cases where patients don’t experience any pain, it’s more common for the following abnormal symptoms to arise:
- Tender, red, or bleeding gums
- Persistent dental sensitivity
- Pain when biting down
- A pimple-like bump on the gums
- Dark discoloration on the tooth in question
If you begin to experience one or more of these warning signs of trouble, don’t wait – call us ASAP to schedule an emergency exam.
The Root Canal Process
Whether we’re treating one tooth or several teeth, the first step of the treatment process is always the same: numbing your mouth. Then, we will isolate the tooth and drill a small hole in the enamel so we can access the inner layers. Next, we will carefully and meticulously remove the diseased and damaged tissue before sanitizing the area and sealing it with a biocompatible dental material. The final step is to secure a dental crown over the tooth to restore its strength while also protecting it from further harm.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
As we mentioned above, root canals are nothing like their scary reputation. In fact, there are several benefits that come with this emergency dental treatment, including:
- The procedure is painless thanks to powerful numbing agents
- Eliminating the infection can save your tooth from needing to be extracted
- The results will look and feel lifelike due to custom restorations
- The entire treatment process can usually be completed in just two appointments
So, if you suspect that you need a root canal, don’t take the “wait and see” approach. Instead, give us a call and schedule an appointment. The sooner you do, the sooner one of our talented dentists can determine if that’s the case.
