Root Canals – Revere, MA
A Root Canal Can Save Your Tooth
SAY GOODBYE TO TOOTH PAIN
When the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected, you might experience severe tooth pain that doesn’t really go away. Tooth pain can get worse when you start eating or when you drink cold or hot drinks. These are some of the warning signs of an infection in the mouth and must be treated immediately with a root canal. Contrary to popular belief, a root canal isn’t a very complicated procedure, nor is it extremely painful. In fact, the most pain you feel is probably the tooth pain you suffered through before you underwent treatment.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS YOU NEED A ROOT CANAL?
A growing infection inside the tooth can be unnoticeable at first but gets worse fairy quickly once the infection starts to spread. We encourage patients to pay attention to the following red flags which indicate a root canal might be necessary:
- Pus around the tooth
- Intermittent or persistent tooth pain
- Redness and inflammation around a tooth
- Severe discomfort and pain when chewing
- Discomfort and pain when eating
- Cheek swelling
- Gums swelling
HOW A ROOT CANAL BENEFITS YOU
Getting a root canal at the right time can save your tooth. If the infection continues to spread, it can cause complete destruction of the tooth root and also start to attack surrounding teeth. This can cause tooth loss and a host of other oral health problems, many of which can be extremely costly. This is why Dr. Oguntolu recommends getting a root canal when he diagnoses it. You could end up saving your tooth and also prevent costly dental problems down the road with early intervention.
The treatment involves cleaning out the infected tooth and re-filling the tooth with a packing material. We can then cap the tooth with a custom crown. Our office can digitally design your crown in our office, so you don’t need to visit another office for a restoration piece. A crown will strengthen the tooth and restore the look after treatment. Crowns are very durable and are matched to the color of your surrounding teeth for a natural look.
