Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
One of the many reasons your biannual visits with Dr. Hansen are so important is because they give him a chance to examine the condition of your teeth, your gums, and any existing dental work. If there is a problem – whether it’s a small cavity or a severe infection – he can bring it to your attention and treat it ASAP (hopefully before a root canal is necessary). Throughout the year, it’s important that you keep an eye out for abnormal symptoms as well, including pain when biting down, a pimple-like bump on your gums, and significant sensitivity.
The Root Canal Process
Root canals have a reputation for being painful. However, many patients are surprised to learn that they feel much better after the procedure, as it erased their toothache! The treatment typically takes place over two appointments. The first will be the cleaning of the inside of the tooth, removing the infected pulp, and securing a temporary restoration over top. The second visit will consist of securing your custom dental crown atop the treated tooth to protect and preserve it, ideally for the rest of your lifetime!
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
One of the biggest benefits of root canal treatment is that it has an incredibly high success rate. As a result, the pain you’ve been experiencing will be erased both now and years from now. Of course, there are other perks of this restorative dental service, including the fact that you won’t feel any discomfort in the treatment chair, the restoration used to cover the tooth moving forward won’t draw any unwanted attention to your smile, and, if needed, you can add sedation dentistry to your treatment plan to make the entire process anxiety-free.
Ultimately, if you are struggling with a painful toothache or any other abnormal dental symptoms, there’s only one thing left to do: schedule an appointment with us. The sooner you do, the sooner we can eliminate the infection and restore your healthy smile.
