Tooth Infection? Relieve Pain and Save Your Tooth with Root Canal Treatment
One of the best ways to preserve your oral health is through routine dental care. Infrequent dental exams and cleanings could result in dental issues like oral infections or gum disease. A severe oral infection can destroy your tooth’s pulp, connective tissues, and nerves. At this stage, root canal therapy is the only way to save your tooth. You can obtain root canal treatment from our root canal specialist, Dr. Swati Khanna, at Dentistry at LaSalle, Burlington, Ontario.
Root Canal Basics
Root canal therapy is the go-to treatment for severe oral infections that have infected a tooth’s pulp. In order to save your tooth, Dr. Khanna will remove the infected pulp along with diseased tissues and nerves. We’ll then cleanse your tooth chamber and canals of remaining infection to keep it from spreading. Once your tooth is properly cleaned, we’ll seal it using a special filling to safeguard it from future infection. Lastly, we’ll place a crown over your weakened tooth to fortify its structure, so it can continue to be useful.
Are Root Canals Painful?
Pain is a common symptom of an oral infection, alerting you of the need for dental treatment. Through root canal therapy, your Burlington dentist can ease your pain and restore the health and function of a diseased tooth. The entire root canal procedure is performed under anesthesia to keep you from pain and discomfort. If the thought of root canal therapy provokes anxiety or fear, we also offer sedation options to eliminate stress and anxiety, so you can have a relaxing, tranquil procedure.
If you feel any discomfort after your treatment, this can be managed with OTC pain relievers. Dr. Khanna and our team will monitor your recovery to ensure there are no complications after your treatment. Through consistent routine dental care, you can prevent oral infections in the future and enjoy better oral health.
