If you are suffering from a toothache or any symptom of a dental infection, you may need root canal treatment. Patients typically have little to no discomfort and minimal post-procedural sensitivity. We eliminate all infections and restore your tooth with a dental crown.
What is a Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal can be a vital treatment for oral and physical health. An infection can occur when oral bacteria penetrates far past your dental enamel and affects the soft pulp in the central chamber of your tooth. Blood vessels and nerve endings are in the soft pulp, and as the bacteria multiply, the infection can spread down the nerve endings through your root canals. When the pulp becomes infected, typically due to deep decay, cracks, chips, repeated dental procedures, or trauma, immediate endodontic treatment is necessary to relieve pain and protect the tooth. Without this treatment, your infection could intensify and spread, not only destroying your tooth but, in rare cases, entering your bloodstream and threatening your life.
When is a Root Canal Treatment Necessary? What are the Symptoms I Need One?
A root canal, the most common treatment for dental infection, is a treatment our expert dentists at Ocala Dental Care are well-versed in. With over 25 million root canals performed annually in dental offices across the country, it’s a proven solution. We may recommend a root canal if you are experiencing the following symptoms:
Moderate to severe persistent tooth pain when eating warm foods or drinking hot liquids. In some cases, pain may also be felt when consuming cold foods or liquids.
You experience pain when chewing, applying pressure, or biting down on the tooth.
Pain starts in one tooth and spreads to other areas of your jaw or head. For example, tooth pain in the upper back of your mouth seems to move to your ear, causing an earache.
You have unexplained, chronic bad breath. Your tooth pain wakes you up at night.
Your tooth is dark or discolored or with internal (intrinsic) stains. Your gums have abscesses.
Root Canal Treatment does not cause pain, instead it alleviates discomfort and pain!
What is the Root Canal Procedure?
Prior to recommending a root canal, the dentists at Ocala Dental Care will take x-rays of your tooth to assess the extent of the infection, its precise location, and whether a root canal is necessary. If root canal therapy is the optimal treatment for you, we will administer local anesthesia to numb the tooth. Rest assured; you will feel little to no pain during the procedure. All bacteria and the infected pulp will be removed, and the tooth will be prepped for crown placement.
