Do I Need Root Canal Treatment?
While the best way to learn whether you require root canal treatment in Solon is by receiving an examination from Dr. Segal, you can also look out for common signs, which can include:
- Persistent tooth pain that may go away, but it always returns.
- Tooth discoloration that is noticeable, especially when compared to surrounding teeth.
- Pain whenever you eat or touch the tooth (try to avoid touching an infected tooth).
- A broken or cracked tooth.
- A pimple-like bump on the gumline near the affected tooth.
- Facial swelling.
The Root Canal Process
Dr. Segal uses endodontic microscopes to ensure root canal treatment is precise and thorough. First, she will access the interior of the tooth by creating a window in its top biting surface. This will allow her to view the canals as well as the pulp. She will thoroughly clean and sanitize the inner chamber and canals to make sure that no infected pulp or bacteria linger before rebuilding the dental structure using an antimicrobial putty called gutta percha. You will return to your general dentist to receive a permanent dental crown over the treated tooth for an added layer of protection.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
The biggest benefit by far that root canal treatment can provide is the ability for you to keep your natural tooth. This intervention helps prevent the need for more extensive, costly, and complex treatments like tooth extractions, dental implants, etc.
