When a tooth becomes infected, this could lead to painful symptoms and a risk of tooth loss. But we can help, stopping the issue with endodontic treatment. In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about stopping a painful infection with a root canal procedure.
The Onset of Painful Symptoms
What causes a tooth to become infected? For some, this could be due to a cavity that was not treated in a timely manner, leading to infection as the decay grows and allows bacteria to reach the inner pulp. Other causes could include a serious injury to the tooth, which again could expose the pulp to bacteria. When this forms, you could have pain in your bite when you chew and speak, and you could experience persistent tooth sensitivity and toothaches. There could also be swelling near the tooth or even a discharge from it. When you have symptoms like these, let us know! With a root canal, we can stop painful infection and keep your smile full!
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal stops painful infection, so you can enjoy relief. The procedure is comfortable too! Our team will numb your tooth ahead of time with a local anesthesia, and we also have sedation for patients with anxiety. When you are calm and relaxed, we will open the tooth and remove the tissues from within. We then clean the inside of your tooth and add a special restorative material to the interior. The last step is to cap the tooth with a dental crown, on custom-made to ensure a lifelike appearance and long-lasting repair.
Protecting Your Teeth
Following the procedure, you will enjoy better comfort and oral health. But you can also take steps to limit the risk of decay or infection down the road. For example, you can brush and floss daily, avoid too much sugar, and see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months. If you have any questions about how our root canal procedures stop painful infection, or if you have an ache in one or more of your teeth, then contact our team today to learn more.
