Preserve Your Smile with Expert Root Canal Therapy
At Smiland Dental in Pembroke Pines, FL, we place a strong emphasis on preventive care to help our patients maintain their natural teeth for life. Our goal is to address dental issues using the least invasive methods possible, ensuring that your oral health remains optimal through regular check-ups, cleanings, and early intervention. By focusing on preventing common dental problems like cavities and gum disease, we can help you avoid more complex treatments in the future.
In the event that an infection occurs in the root of a tooth, root canal therapy may be necessary to preserve the tooth and alleviate pain. This procedure effectively removes the infected tissue, cleans the area, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection. At Smiland Dental, we strive to make root canal therapy as comfortable and efficient as possible, ensuring that you receive the necessary care to maintain a healthy smile.
Tooth Root Infection or Abscess Symptoms
Tooth decay in its initial stages may not exhibit any symptoms, such as pain, and may only be identified through a dental X-ray or probing. If left untreated, the bacteria can penetrate deeper into the tooth, leading to infection in the pulp chamber and root. Although some patients may not initially experience symptoms, most will eventually experience:
- Experiencing intense pain while chewing, biting, or applying pressure (e.g. clenching or grinding)
- Sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the source of the stimulus is gone
- Discoloration of the tooth
- Swollen, painful gums near the affected tooth
- Persistent or recurring pustule on the gums
Seek treatment as soon as possible if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. The sooner you act, the better chance Dr. Hassan Al Maghazchi has of effectively treating the bacterial infection and saving your tooth.
Do not delay getting root canal therapy
Putting off root canal treatment can result in more severe oral health issues, like an abscess. This happens when bacteria-infected pus builds up under the tooth's root, leading to swelling and severe pain in the mouth and jaw. If not addressed promptly, the infection can spread to nearby bone and tissues, potentially requiring tooth extraction, removal of infected tissue, and bone grafting. In certain situations, implants or bridges may be necessary to prevent neighboring teeth from moving and to restore the aesthetics of your smile.
