San Jan Best Dentist
Root canal therapy, typically referred to simply as root canal, does not deserve the reputation for being something to fear or be anxious about. Here at Champion Dental PC, it's not the cause of pain, but rather then solution for the pain you have. Modern techniques and equipment make it comfortable and most patients report very little or even no discomfort at all.
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when your tooth's pulp becomes infected or otherwise damaged. Tooth decay is typically at the center of it, though cracked or chipped teeth, and even the results of accidents and injuries can spur root canal from our
San Jan best dentist. Unfortunately, even if you're diligent in your oral hygiene, the protective layers of your tooth can be breached. You will very likely feel pain, especially when you chew or apply pressure to the tooth. Depending on the situation, the pain can be severe. Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and and drinks is also a typical symptom. Additional signs may include tooth discoloration and tender gums. At the first sign of a problem, come in and let our
San Jan best dentist examine you and take x-rays. If you do need to have root canal, you will receive local anesthesia to maintain your optimal comfort. The pulp and nerve are removed, and then the canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infections. If is not unusual for the entire process to be spread among multiple visits, in which case you will be fitted with a temporary crown so that the tooth is protected until you return. After full healing, you will have impressions taken for the formation of a permanent crown to restore the tooth to full size.
Our
San Jan best dentist is dedicated to saving your natural teeth whenever possible. At the first sign of concern, contact us immediately.
