Root Canal Therapy and Abscessed Teeth
Root Canal Therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is required when the pulp of a tooth (which contains the nerve and blood supply) becomes infected or inflamed. This condition, known as an abscessed tooth, can result in severe pain and discomfort.
An abscessed tooth is typically caused by bacteria entering the tooth through a small chip or crack, leading to the destruction of the pulp. This issue can have serious consequences and may result in various side effects and future complications such as:
- Bitter taste in mouth and/or bad breath
- Pain when chewing
- Swelling in mouth and neck
- Sensitivity to heat and cold
- Fever
- Loose teeth
- Tooth loss
- Shift of the remaining teeth
Protecting yourself from the symptoms and issues associated with an abscessed tooth is crucial.
How Can Root Canals Help?
The only way to save a tooth from extraction may be through root canal treatment. This procedure involves removing the nerves within the root of the tooth, allowing it to function properly without sensitivity. During a root canal, Dr. Young will create a small hole in the tooth to remove damaged pulp, clean the area, and seal and fill the tooth. Often, a crown is used to reinforce the treated tooth. After root canal therapy, an infected tooth can heal and be saved for many years. Contact us for a Same day Appointment for Emergency Root Canal treatment.
