It might be nice to have that persistent tooth pain go away on its own, but this may not be an outcome that you can count on. A problem with tooth pain that persists can be a sign that you have an infection, which can occur when a cavity or injury has not been addressed. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can help you deal with this problem by performing a root canal treatment. During a root canal, care is taken to clear an infection from the interior of your tooth before sealing and restoring it. If this is not taken care of in time, an infection can become serious enough to cost you your tooth!

A Toothache Can Be A Sign Of An Infection

If you have a toothache that is bothering you, it can be a sign that the tooth is infected. It can be especially concerning if the problem is not something you can trace to a particular incident, or if it continues to frustrate you for an extended period of time. Your dentist can determine what might be wrong by performing an evaluation. If there is a concern that the tooth’s inner health is compromised, it can be time to perform a root canal procedure. It should be noted that if you stay consistent with routine dental exams, you can avoid problems with advanced tooth decay by having any cavities that form restored with a dental filling.

Moving Forward With A Root Canal Treatment

The purpose of a root canal is to save a tooth by carefully removing the infected tissues within it. Once your dentist has addressed the infected tissues, the pulp – your tooth’s inner chamber – can be sealed to prevent further problems. After this work, a dental restoration is needed for your tooth. We can place a dental crown, with care taken to select a lifelike crown for a tooth that is visible when you smile.

An Unresolved Dental Problem Can Cost You Your Tooth

If you keep ignoring that tooth pain, and let a tooth infection go untreated, it may become so severe that your dentist’s only remaining option is to extract it! If this is the case for you, we can take care to make you as comfortable as possible during treatment, and we can discuss plans to restore your smile by replacing the missing tooth.
