How a Root Canal Can Help Oral Pain

Do you suffer from oral pain? A pain in your mouth can greatly impact your life. It can be hard to focus on everyday tasks with a distracting pain. A root canal may be the right treatment method to help relieve your pain. Here at Access Dental & Dentures, we know how bad oral pain can hurt and we want to help you. We have a wide range of experience with treating oral pain and with performing root canals. To learn more, take a look below to learn all about our root canal service.

Endodontic treatment (root canal) treats the inside of the tooth. Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, trauma to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.

The modern root canal treatment is very similar to having a routine filling and usually can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. You can expect a comfortable experience during and after your appointment. Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment has many advantages:

-Efficient chewing
-Normal biting force and sensation
-Natural appearance
-Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain

A root canal treatment helps you maintain your natural smile, continue eating the foods you love and limits the need for ongoing dental work. With proper care, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last as long as other natural teeth and often for a lifetime.

If you think a root canal can help to treat the pain you are in, we would like to see you for an evaluation. We can check out what is going on with your teeth and gums, and make suggestions for treatment options. For a more natural solution for your oral pain, a root canal may be exactly what you need!
