Save Your Smile with Root Canal Therapy

Living in pain is never an easy thing, especially when it involves your teeth. Tooth pain can be unbearable, and doing nothing about it will only make it worse. If you are suffering from an ongoing tooth ache, it is most likely because your tooth has become infected. Left untreated, an infected tooth can wreak havoc on the rest of your smile, leaving you with a much more expensive and painful outcomes down the road. Florida Smiles Dental understands the importance of making sure your smile is as healthy as it can be, which is why we offer root canal therapy to our patients!

A root canal needs to be performed when the tooth’s internal and external structure has been compromised. Perhaps due to a crack or a large cavity, the tooth’s inner structure has become infected with bacteria, causing you extensive pain and discomfort. Other things that can cause the need for root canal therapy are deep restorations and dental trauma.

We begin your root canal by focusing on the infected tooth and removing the harmful bacteria. The tooth’s pulp is removed, and then the tooth is filled. We will be able to provide some local anesthesia to help with the pain, as well as apply some antibiotic ointment to the infected area. After that, a crown is usually placed at the top, protecting the tooth from further harm. At the end, you feel relieved and alleviated of pain!

If you are experiencing sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks, pain, swelling, throbbing, and a bad taste in your mouth, you may need a root canal. Make an appointment at our office, and we’ll be glad to help!
