Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
Our team will need to examine your tooth in order to confirm whether you are suffering from an infection that may require a root canal treatment. There are many potential warning signs of an infected tooth, such as:
- Tooth pain that is severe or doesn’t go away.
- A tooth that’s extremely sensitive to hot or cold temperatures.
- A sharp pain that occurs whenever you bite down on something.
- One tooth that is noticeably darker than the others.
- A small pimple-like bump appearing on the gums.
All of the symptoms listed above warrant a call to our office. If a tooth infection truly is to blame, it’s important to ensure that you get the care you need promptly.
The Root Canal Process
At the beginning of your root canal treatment, a local anesthetic will be administered. This will help keep the area around your tooth numb during the procedure. Thanks to this step, the root canal treatment is often no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed.
After the mouth has been numbed, an opening is created in the tooth. This allows us to take out the pulp along with any other damaged, decayed, or infected particles. Then the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned to ensure that no harmful bacteria are remaining.
The newly sanitized tooth will be filled with a biocompatible substance and resealed. In most cases, a dental crown will need to be placed; this is done to protect the treated tooth while also allowing it to function normally.

If you’re told that you need a root canal treatment, it’s in your best interest to have the procedure performed as soon as possible. This will allow you to enjoy the following benefits:
