When you need a root canal? Tips from Woodleigh Waters Dental Surgery, Berwick

If you have a toothache, it’s possible you have a root canal infection. Root canal infections generally occur when bacteria infiltrate the interior of your tooth and contaminate the nerve. This is usually because the tooth is broken, decayed, or fractured, and allows access to the same bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease.

You may have a root canal infection if:-

• Chewing causes sharp pain
• Putting pressure on the tooth causes instant discomfort
• Swelling and discoloring occurs in gum tissues
• Experiencing extreme sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

We can alleviate the discomfort of your toothache with root canal therapy. Our caring dentists will ensure that you’re completely relaxed for your treatment. We also recommend adding a porcelain crown to strengthen the treated tooth and ensure continued protection.

Of course, the idea of root canal therapy can be intimidating. Our clinic provides sedation dentistry, which can help you feel more comfortable during your root canal therapy procedure. Don't let dental fear keep you from getting the care you need -- let their sedation dentistry make optimum oral health possible. You can rely on us to get ur toothpick in its original shapes and be pain-free for years to come with anxiety-free root canal therapy.
