Reasons You May Need a Root Canal

 If you have any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal: tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, pain in your teeth when chewing with an open mouth, fever and swollen gums.

Root canal treatment is a root canal procedure that involves the removal of inflamed or infected pulp from inside your tooth. This requires local anesthesia to numb the area and then an opening through which we remove all diseased tissue, clean out any bacteria contained in them before filling it up with a special sealing material.

Root Canal Treatment

If you have been suffering from a root canal infection, your dentist will most likely recommend root canal therapy.

If you experience any of these symptoms it may be time to consider root canal treatment: pain in one specific area on some teeth; sensitivity to hot and cold ; root canal symptoms that are more pronounced at night; pain when biting down.

Root canals, also known as root canal therapy or endodontics is a dental procedure used to treat an infection of the root tip and pulp chambers in your teeth. Root canals require local anesthesia (numbing) and then special instruments through which we remove all diseased tissue and clean out any bacteria contained in them before filling it up with a special sealing material.

If root canal treatment is not initiated in the early stages of root canal infection, you can experience an increase in pain intensity and swelling around the area which may lead to loss of your tooth permanently. If this sounds like something you may be suffering from, contact us today.

Requesting a root canal is not something that should be taken lightly. The procedure is significant in its cost and time commitment. However, if left untreated it could lead to more serious health complications down the road. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, contact us today!
