Why a Root Canal May Be Necessary
A root canal may become necessary for the following reasons.
- Persistent pain and temperature sensitivity: Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures that do not subside are tell-tale signs that you need a root canal. This pain often signifies deep decay or infection that has penetrated the tooth pulp, requiring immediate attention.
- Swelling: Swelling and tenderness in the gums around the affected tooth can also indicate an underlying issue that may necessitate a root canal.
- Discoloration: Additionally, if you notice a darkening or discoloration of the tooth, it could be a sign of pulp damage or infection.
- Extended Toothache Stemming From Injury: Prolonged toothache following an injury is another common reason for needing a root canal, as trauma can cause significant internal damage to the tooth.
If any of these symptoms are present, it is crucial to consult with our dental professionals to determine the best course of action and alleviate discomfort.
Types of Root Canal
At Trusted Dentistry, we offer a range of root canal procedures tailored to your specific needs:
Traditional Root Canal Therapy
This involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing the space.
Endodontic Retreatment
If a previous root canal fails or an infection reoccurs, this procedure involves re-cleaning and sealing the root canals.
Apicoectomy (Root End Surgery)
In cases where traditional root canal therapy is not sufficient, this surgical procedure removes the tip of the root and the surrounding infected tissue.
Pulpotomy
Often performed on children, this procedure involves removing a portion of the tooth pulp to alleviate pain and stop the spread of infection.
Deciding When To Get a Root Canal
When a toothache goes from bad to unbearable, you may have no choice but to get a root canal. While the cost of a root canal can be a barrier for many people, it doesn’t have to be. We offer payment plans to help you break down the cost and pay over time because you deserve to seek relief for your pain.
