If you have serious pain in your tooth and we find an infection is present, then we can offer treatment. With oral surgery, we can use a root canal to address the issue and keep your smile full! In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about avoiding tooth loss with a root canal procedure.
How An Infection Causes Tooth Loss
What does a dental infection mean? This means that the pulp, the nerve center in your tooth, has been exposed to bacteria. The infection could be caused by factors like untreated tooth decay or a serious injury to the tooth. Without treatment, you could develop painful aches that grow in severity, or discomfort when you eat. There could even be pain in your face and jaw. Without treatment, the infection could spread to other parts of your smile and cause tooth loss! Which is why we want to offer relief and keep your smile full with a root canal procedure.
Ensuring Your Comfort
With a treatment like a root canal, we always take time to ensure the comfort of our patients. We will numb the area being treated directly with a local anesthesia, and we also have sedation options, such as oral conscious sedation, to help you enter a deep set of calm and relaxation, with little to no memory of the process at all.
Root Canal Treatment
Once you are comfortable, our team will open the tooth to allow us to access and then remove the tissues from within. Once we do, we will clean the inside of the tooth thoroughly and add a special restorative filling known as gutta percha. We then cap the tooth with a dental crown, which will protect the remaining structure and also offer a lifelike appearance. You then avoid the risk of tooth loss and enjoy relief from discomfort immediately.
If you have any questions about how we treat infection with oral surgery and a root canal, or if you have dental benefits you want to use before they expire at the end of December, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you smile with confidence again!
