So a dental root canal is needed sometimes to relieve pain. Usually if the decay starts in the tooth, we’ll treat it with a dental filling. But if that cavity has sat there for too long and the cavity reaches the nerve now, now you’re in direct pain with that nerve, we have to basically kill the nerve and do a root canal to get you out of pain. So a root canal is a good service to help treat an infected tooth or just a broken-down tooth and help you get out of pain.
Feel Better ASAP After Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment may be needed if a tooth’s roots become inflamed or infected. This can happen if a cavity is left untreated for a period of time. Decay from the cavity slowly spreads to the soft tissue inside the tooth, creating significant pain and sensitivity.
This common procedure allows us to save your tooth and keep your smile intact. With local anesthesia and sedation options, you shouldn’t feel any more discomfort than if you were getting a tooth filled. You’ll feel much better after your procedure, as your toothache will be gone.
Your dentist will:
- Clean out the infected tissue inside the tooth
- Disinfect the root canals
- Seal the tooth with an inert material
- Protect the tooth with a crown at a later appointment
