Do I Need Root Canal Therapy?
Signs You May Need Treatment
For most cases, its clear when root canal therapy is needed to treat and save a tooth. If you have severe dental discomfort that does not go away and you experience a fever, its likely that an infection has developed and you need treatment as soon as possible. Furthermore, if you notice this discomfort as well as a darkening of your tooth that appears dark yellow, gray, brown or black, it likely needs to be treated.
The Root Canal Process
What to Expect During Treatment
Root canal therapy involves removing the infected pulp from inside your tooth, cleaning the canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. The tooth is then restored with a crown to protect it and restore its function. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report feeling comfortable throughout.
After Your Root Canal
Recovery and Results
After your root canal therapy, you can expect some mild sensitivity for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Your treated tooth can last a lifetime with proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.
Why Save Your Natural Tooth?
The Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Saving your natural tooth through root canal therapy offers many advantages over extraction. Your natural tooth maintains proper chewing function, normal biting force, natural appearance, and protects other teeth from excessive wear or shifting.
