Root Canals Remedy Deep Dental Issues

Lingering tooth sensitivity after eating or drinking something hot or cold? Sharp pain when biting or chewing? Swollen gums around a painful tooth? A toothache is almost always a sign that infection has damaged the pulp within your tooth root. This can be the result of a severe tooth crack or fracture, injury to a tooth, or extensive tooth decay that has reached the inside of the tooth. Without treatment, the infection will continue to cause tooth pain, can lead to a tooth abscess, and in worst cases will require the tooth to be extracted altogether.

If you’re experiencing any noticeable symptoms, especially a severe toothache, we have a solution! Our dentist at Preferred Dental Center is trained and experienced in providing endodontic treatment including root canals in San Antonio, TX. We also partner with leading insurance companies to ensure your entire treatment process is painless and easy.

Don’t let the stigma surrounding this procedure cause you apprehension or lead you to put off your treatment. When we offer root canals in San Antonio, TX they’re designed to comfortably eliminate your tooth pain (not cause more) and ultimately save your natural tooth!

How Root Canals Save Teeth

If the pulp inside your tooth roots becomes infected, this and the bacteria inside the canal must be removed to save your tooth and your overall health. During your root canal procedure, our dentist in San Antonio will first numb the treatment site with local anesthetic. You won’t feel any pain, though you may experience slight pressure as we complete the procedure. Many patients compare our root canals to having a cavity filled!We’ll remove a portion of your tooth crown to gain access to the pulp chamber and clear out all the infection, bacteria, and damaged pulp and tissues. Disinfecting and cleaning the canals is the next step before filling them with a hardening material call gutta-percha. Your tooth will then be sealed to keep bacteria from entering the chamber and root canal. You’ll need a dental crown to ensure your tooth remains strong and functional after treatment.
