Do I Need Root Canal Treatment?
Your tooth is surrounded by a hard enamel layer, but at its center, there is a bundle of soft tissue, nerves, and blood tissue. This is the dental pulp, and if it becomes infected due to exposure to bacteria (which might happen if the tooth decays or is broken), you’ll begin experiencing some very serious pain. Other common symptoms include dark discoloration on your tooth, red, inflamed, or bleeding gums, and persistent dental sensitivity. So, if you are experiencing these symptoms or any other warning signs of dental damage, contact us ASAP to schedule an appointment.
The Root Canal Process
Our talented, compassionate, and experienced dentist, Dr. Andrew Aziz, will begin the procedure by numbing your mouth thoroughly. That way, you can relax comfortably while he works to restore the look, health, and function of your tooth. This requires him to access the inner chambers, remove the diseased tissue, and sanitize the area before filling it with a synthetic gutta-percha material to restore the structure. The final step is to place a crown over your tooth to protect it from harm both now and years from now.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
All too often, patients have heard bad things about root canal treatment. However, this emergency dental service offers several benefits. Starting with the fact that, despite what television and other media might have led you to believe, the procedure causes little to no pain; you can walk in for your appointment without fear. Furthermore, this procedure removes the damaged pulp and disinfects the inside of your tooth, which stops your pain and saves your tooth from extraction. Finally, the restorations used to cover the treated tooth moving forward are custom-made, are crafted from high-quality dental materials, and are extremely lifelike.
