We want to stop a persistent toothache with a root canal. The endodontic treatment allows our team to address infection and prevent the risk of tooth loss. In today’s blog, you team at Delightful Dental Care in Kansas City, MO, can stop toothaches with a safe and gentle root canal.
Toothaches and Dental Infection
If you have serious pain in your teeth on a daily basis, including discomfort when you bite down or chew, then this could be more than just a cavity. This is especially true if you also have jaw and facial aches, swelling, or a discharge from the tooth. You need treatment to avoid further pain, and to also avoid the risk of losing the tooth. Once you lose the tooth, there is a chance that infection can spread to other parts of your smile, causing severe threats to your oral and overall health.
But we can help, using a root canal to stop your toothache and keep your smile whole!
Stopping Pain
If you have dental pain, we could stop them with a root canal. Our team will plan the process in detail with digital x-rays, we then numb your tooth to ensure you stay comfortable, and we could even offer sedation for anxious patients. Our team then opens the tooth and removes the tissues from within. We clean the inside of the tooth and add a special gutta percha material. Finally, we will cap the tooth with a dental crown. The treatment then stops your discomfort instantly, and also protects your smile from the spread of infection.
Infection Prevention
In addition to stopping toothaches with a root canal, we want to offer preventive dentistry to help you avoid tooth decay and dental infection altogether. We can offer a checkup and cleaning every six months to control buildup and catch issues like tooth decay early. For kids, we could use fluoride and dental sealants to help limit the risk of tooth decay. We could also talk about proper care at home, such as brushing and flossing, avoiding tobacco products, and limiting how much sugar is in your diet.
If you have any questions about how we stop toothaches with a root canal, or about how to avoid issues like cavities and infected teeth, then contact our team today to learn more and get started on your treatment. We want to help you and your family maintain your best smiles, and avoid painful symptoms and tooth loss.
