The Many Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Pain Relief
An infected tooth is caused by bacteria entering the pulp (the nerves, blood vessels, and other tissue inside the tooth). This can cause excruciating pain that makes it difficult to eat or sleep. A root canal eliminates the source of the pain by removing the pulp and clearing out the root canals.
Tooth Preservation
A root canal leaves the hard exterior of the tooth intact to maintain your ability to chew and enunciate. The only alternative treatment is extraction. Whenever possible, dentists and endodontists strongly recommend a root canal instead of extraction to preserve and restore your natural tooth, which can continue to function without pulp.
Restore Oral Health
When left untreated, tooth decay and infection can quickly spread from the pulp to surrounding teeth and negatively impact your health. A root canal procedure prevents further dental issues from occurring, providing peace of mind and also helping you save money in the long run by being proactive.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
In this video, Dr. Sasan Khodabakhsh discusses symptoms that suggest you might need a root canal. The most common is a constant and worsening toothache. Patients near McKinney might also notice sensitivity, discharge from the gums, or discoloration of the enamel.
Don't Delay Treatment The Importance of Timely Care
Did you know that most root canals start from a seemingly harmless cavity? While it may seem like a minor issue at the time, cavities don't go away on their own and only get worse without treatment. It's vital to stay on top of your routine dental visits at our McKinney office so your dentist can address any signs of decay early on. It's also possible to need a root canal without having any initial symptoms because pain only starts once the infection has reached the soft inner tissue of the tooth crown and roots. In these instances, an x-ray is the only way to determine if a root canal is needed.
It's also important to note that a procedure such as a root canal is far more economical than losing a tooth and having to replace it with a dental implant-supported restoration.
