What You Should Know About Root Canal

When the pulp is damaged or inflamed, there’s a possibility of losing that tooth. A root canal is a solution for treating teeth that have been decayed all the way to the tooth’s pulp.

Causes of pulp inflammation or infection:

• Faulty dental procedures (i.e. dental fillings or crowns)
• Cracks or chips in your teeth, which allow bacteria to grow and flourish.
• Trauma to a tooth.

Root Canal Signs:

• Pain from applied pressure to your tooth (i.e. chewing).
• Tooth sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.
• Swollen gums near the infected tooth.
• Any sign of pus.
• Dark discoloration.

Does a Root Canal procedure hurt?
Many people believe root canals are painful procedures. Root canals are no more painful than a dental filling. Once the anesthesia kicks in, pain should not be felt for the duration of the procedure. It’s much better to experience the minimal pain with a root canal than endure severe pain from a badly infected tooth.

Root Canal Benefits:

• Restores and maintains your bite for efficient chewing
• Protects your other teeth from strain
• Saves your natural tooth
• Maintains your natural smile
