Root Canal Treatment
What Are The Signs You Need Endodontic Treatment?
When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, endodontic treatment is needed. Pulp infection and inflammation most often occur if a patient has a chipped or cracked tooth, a deep cavity or filling, or another serious injury to the tooth. Only a trusted dentist can tell you for sure if a root canal is necessary in your case.
If you are suffering severe signs of infection, you need prompt attention and should contact My Dental Company immediately to set an appointment.
It is highly unusual for severe symptoms to be the first ones that emerge in an infected tooth. If you develop a toothache or any of the symptoms described to the right, it’s a good idea to speak to a dentist within no more than a few days. This ensures you can get the assistance you need before the situation gets worse.
Severe Signs Of Infection:
- Severe tooth pain that worsens when the tooth is in use, but may throb consistently
- Extreme sensitivity to hot and cold in the mouth that lingers after the stimulus passes
- A small, dark bump that appears on the gum line near where the tooth pain is felt
- Discoloration of the tooth itself, which can darken several shades or even blacken
- Visible swelling and tenderness in the gums around the problem area
Root Canal Prevention
Root canals can be prevented through daily dental hygiene and regular dental examinations. In general, healthy adults should see the dentist for a cleaning and exam at least twice a year. If there are any issues that have the potential for further treatment, this number might increase temporarily. Remember to brush your teeth at least two times daily, including once in the morning and once before bed. Best results are achieved by brushing about 30 minutes after every meal, too. Strive to floss at least a few times a week, but for best results floss daily.
Having a dentist you can rely on is crucial for your long-term dental health, especially when it comes to performing serious procedures like a root canal. Contact My Dental Company in Colorado Springs to request an appointment if you believe you may need root canal therapy. We look forward to helping you achieve a beautiful and pain-free smile.
