Root Canal Treatment
Cosmetic Dentistry Articles >>
Are you afraid of going to your dentist for root canal treatment? Have you heard the rumours that this is the most awful of dental procedures? Have you been diagnosed as needing root canal treatment but are terrified of going ahead with treatment? There is no need. Root canal treatment can be done painlessly and successfully just like having a filling done.
You can save a precious tooth with root canal treatment. When bacteria pass into the nerve of the tooth, it can become painful and infected. This could result in the nerve of the tooth being damaged and can spread to the bone beneath the tooth. Root canal treatment will clean the bacteria and save your tooth.
If the tooth is left untreated you may get an abscess which will cause more pain and swelling.
The signs to look for are:
- Persistent toothache
- Swelling of the gum near the tooth
- Tooth becoming darker after a trauma
- Tender gum or tooth
Root canal treatment can be carried out at any dental practice under local anaesthetic and should be completely painless – even after the procedure too!
Once the root canal treatment is complete, the tooth is usually restored with a filling, a porcelain onlay or a porcelain crown. Porcelain crowns or onlays are usually the treatment of choice.
Perfect Smile Spa specialises in painless endodontic procedures.
