Get Root Canal Relief
If you’re dealing with tooth pain or sensitivity that just won’t go away, these may be signs of an infection inside your tooth.
Have our Texarkana, AR, dentists check it out. The sooner the issue is caught, the sooner you can get treatment to relieve the pain and save your natural tooth.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a dental treatment that saves a tooth with an infected or damaged pulp - the soft tissue inside the tooth.
This can happen due to deep decay or injury, leading to serious pain and sensitivity. During the procedure, the dentist:
- removes the infected tissue
- thoroughly cleans the inside of the tooth
- seals it to prevent future problems
Root canal therapy not only relieves pain but also preserves your natural tooth, helping you maintain a healthy smile without needing a tooth extraction.
Schedule a dental appointment at the Texarkana Care Clinic today to get back to a pain-free smile.
Types of Root Canal Options
Standard Root Canal Therapy
This common treatment is for single-rooted teeth, like front teeth. The dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans the area, and seals it to prevent future issues.
Molar Root Canal
Molars have multiple roots, so this treatment can be more complex. It may take one or two visits to remove infected tissue from each root.
Pulpotomy
Often used for children, this procedure removes only the infected pulp in the tooth's crown while keeping the root pulp intact. It helps save baby teeth until they naturally fall out.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Endodontics Treatment
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, schedule a dentist appointment to evaluate a possible root canal:
- Severe Tooth Pain: Ongoing pain in a specific tooth, especially when chewing or applying pressure, can indicate a problem with the tooth's root.
- Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling in the gums near the affected tooth, along with tenderness, could mean there’s an infection.
- Discoloration of the Tooth: If your tooth darkens or changes color, it might have nerve damage.
- Recurring Gum Issues: Frequent gum infections or abscesses can indicate a problem with the tooth's root.
- Pain When Biting Down: Discomfort or pain when biting or chewing may be a sign that the tooth is damaged or infected.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to get dental care quickly. Early detection can help preserve your tooth and relieve pain effectively.
