Save Your Tooth With Expert Root Canal Therapy
Untreated cavities worsen over time, and can eventually expose the tooth’s nerve. Damage from an injury or infection can also affect the pulp of a tooth. Damage to the pulp leads to severe tooth sensitivity and pain. Treating the pulp damage with a root canal treatment can help prevent tooth loss.
The purpose of a root canal is to remove the infected or damaged pulp and preserve the tooth.
Victory Smiles Dental Center is here to provide root canal therapy. Learn more about the procedure and if it can help you.
What is a Root Canal Procedure?
Root canals are used to preserve a tooth with a damaged pulp. The first step of the process is to numb your mouth. Then, the dentist removes the damaged tooth pulp. They will thoroughly clean out the tooth before filling it.
The purpose of a root canal is to alleviate your pain and save your tooth. Without treatment, the nerve damage may get so bad that it leads to tooth loss.
Why Visit a Root Canal Specialist?
Without treatment, tooth decay will get worse. If the dentist is not able to fill the cavity early on, then it may get so severe that it requires a root canal to fix.
But bad cavities are not the only reason for root canal treatment. A fall or knock to the mouth may cause sudden damage to the tooth pulp.
How do you know if it’s time to see a root canal dentist? Some key signs to watch for include:
- Persistent tooth sensitivity to hot and cold.
- Severe tooth pain.
- Signs of tooth decay.
