Root canal therapy stands as a common treatment dentists utilize to repair and preserve a tooth, with over 14 million procedures performed annually, making it one of the most prevalent dental interventions.
Despite their undeserved reputation for pain, root canals are typically not as uncomfortable as believed. In fact, severe tooth pain often indicates the need for a root canal. Our skilled dentists can alleviate this pain effectively, ensuring lasting relief. Root canal therapy boasts a high success rate, with treated teeth often functioning optimally for a lifetime.
With advancements in dentistry, this straightforward and relatively painless procedure can salvage natural teeth, circumventing the necessity for dental implants or bridges.
Experiencing persistent tooth pain warrants prompt evaluation by a trusted dental specialist. Activities like sports injuries, accidents, or biting into hard objects can lead to dental emergencies.
Common signs necessitating a root canal include excruciating toothaches, tooth injuries, infected teeth, or avulsed teeth. Untreated infections can spread, leading to severe health complications. These injuries demand immediate attention to preserve tooth health.
Scheduling an appointment with our experienced doctors can prevent further damage to affected teeth. Even seemingly minor injuries can impact the living tissues inside the mouth, necessitating swift treatment to prevent complications.
However, sometimes, there are no symptoms, and infections may progress silently. Regular dental X-rays every 3-5 years are essential for early detection.
Various factors can lead to tooth nerve and pulp damage, including extensive decay, repeated dental procedures, restorations (fillings or crowns), cracks or chips in the tooth, and facial trauma.
During your consultation, our doctors will conduct an examination with X-rays and assess the tooth's condition to determine the necessity of a root canal. We will discuss the procedure details and address any concerns you may have.
