ROOT CANALS

COMFORTABLE & SAFE PROCEDURE

“When a tooth becomes infected, many patients worry about losing it and endure excruciating pain. However, in numerous instances, the tooth can be saved through a root canal procedure. Root canal treatment aims to repair and preserve severely damaged teeth.

This procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and shaping the pulp canals, disinfecting the tooth’s interior thoroughly, and sealing it to prevent reinfection. At Ferdos Family Dental, our team is proficient in performing root canal procedures. We can manage most cases in our office, providing you with comfort and continuity of care, eliminating the need for referral to a specialist.”

WHEN IS A ROOT CANAL NEEDED?

Root canal treatment becomes necessary when trauma or a significant cavity damages the nerve within a tooth, leading to infection. This infection may, over time, develop into an abscess, accompanied by swelling. While an abscess typically manifests with pain and sensitivity, occasionally an infected tooth may exhibit no symptoms. In such cases, an x-ray of the tooth’s root becomes imperative to assess the need for root canal therapy. If deemed necessary, the procedure can often commence immediately, although sometimes antibiotic treatment is prescribed beforehand. Additionally, if the affected tooth is a molar, a crown is typically recommended to ensure its long-term protection.

Common reasons for nerve damage or infection may include:
  • – Severe tooth decay
  • – Tooth fractures
  • – Repeated dental
proceduresIndication s that your tooth might be infected comprise:
  • – Throbbing or pulsating pain in the tooth, jaw, or neck
  • – Facial, cheek, or gum swelling
  • – Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • – Discomfort when biting or applying pressure
  • – Fever
  • – Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck
  • – Unpleasant taste in the mouth or persistent bad breath
The Mayo Clinic advises seeking immediate dental attention if you experience facial or neck swelling, fever, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. If you’re unable to reach your dentist, it’s crucial to visit an emergency room promptly, as these symptoms could signify a deeper spread of infection into the jawbone and surrounding tissues, potentially affecting other parts of the body.
