Adams Ridge Root Canal
When the pulp inside your tooth sustains an infection or becomes damaged as the result of an accident of injury that affects your face, the treatment needed to repair it is called root canal therapy. At the practice of George Cochran DDS, the most advanced techniques and equipment are utilized to your benefit, to ensure that the procedure is successful and that you stay comfortable throughout.
Infections inside your tooth are traceable to a breach in the protective shields that ordinarily keep your tooth safe from bacteria. Your enamel and dentin become compromised when you have a large enough cavity, a loose or lost filling, or a tooth that is chipped or cracked. How do you know that you need our
Adams Ridge root canal? You won't for certain until you come in for an examination and x-rays, but there are specific symptoms that should spur you to action regardless of the treatment that is ultimately needed. They include the most obvious and alarming one: pain, which is likely to be worse when you chew your food or pressure is applied to the tooth. Sensitivity to hot and cold items is common, too. And you might also notice gum tenderness and/or tooth discoloration. If our dentist determines that our
Adams Ridge root canal is the best way to proceed, you will be numbed sufficiently with local anesthesia prior to the non-surgical procedure. Completion may take more than one visit, especially if the tooth has multiple canals. A temporary crown is placed over the tooth to keep it protected between sessions. And when your tooth heals fully, you will get a permanent crown to restore it to full size.
Schedule an appointment with our office when you are aware of any of the above listed signs. Our
Adams Ridge root canal is the best, and usually only, way to save your tooth and keep it strong and viable.
