Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
We always recommend scheduling an appointment with us if you start to experience abnormal dental symptoms, including:
- Persistent sensitivity
- A pimple-like bump on your gums
- Dark discoloration on a tooth
- Red, inflamed, or irritated gums
- Pain when biting down
These are a few warning signs of a severely decayed or infected tooth. The sooner you get in touch with us, the sooner we can pinpoint the root of the problem, assess how severe it is, and determine if your tooth can be saved with a root canal.
The Root Canal Process
Once the tooth is numb, we will use special tools to access the inner layers. Then, we will eliminate the infection, sanitize the area, and fill the canal. The final step is to place a custom dental crown over the top to protect the tooth while the final restoration is being crafted by the artisans at the lab. As soon as we receive it, we will call you in for your final appointment, which is when we will secure it in place.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
Needless to say, root canal therapy has a terrible reputation as a torturous procedure, but actually, this is a complete myth! In reality, it’s good news because:
- It’s virtually painless – Your mouth will be completely numbed beforehand, ensuring you feel practically nothing while in the chair.
- It saves your tooth – Root canal treatment is designed to stop the pain and save a tooth that otherwise would be removed.
- The results are extremely lifelike – With dental crowns that look as great as they feel, you don’t have to worry; no unwanted attention will be drawn to your smile moving forward.
