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.
