When To Do Root Canal Treatment

Diagnose And Identify Root Canal Infection or Internal Tissue Damage Before We Administer Treatment

The key factor in determining the cause and proper treatment for your toothache pain is the persistence of the pain in the moment of pressure (from the act of chewing or biting on food). If sudden temperature changes cause sharp toothache; a problem exists in the root.  If pain is persistent over time; days, weeks, etc. you should visit your dentist. Long persistence of tooth pain escalates the cause of the pain and the more urgent you should consult a dental office or fill out the contact us form on this website.

Is Your Tooth Sensitive To Pain?

Identify The Difference Between Reversible Pain and Root Canal Pain

Momentary discomfort or temporary sensitivity to hot and cold foods generally does not signal a serious problem. The sensitivity may be caused by a small decay, a loose filling or by minimal gum recession, that exposes small areas of the root surface.
If the sensitivity to temperature changes is a lingering toothache pain, you will need to visit your dentist. Lingering toothache is defined as pain that lasts more than thirty seconds after eating hot or cold foods. This probably means that the pulp has been irreversibly damaged by deep decay or physical trauma and the tooth will require root canal treatment.
Please visit your dentist or fill out the contact us form for more information.

Can Antibiotics Relieve Toothache Pain or Reduce Root Canal Infections

Antibiotics may only temporarily resolve your symptoms. Root canal infections arise within the tooth and antibiotics will not resolve this infection. A more definite form of action must be taken which may include a root canal procedure. To delay this visit may result in losing your tooth.

Can Root Canal Procedure Cause Complications?

Good news! Root Canal Procedure is a lot less complicated than it used to be. With the advancement of technology and microscopes, root canal dentists are more efficient and accurate. They quickly and comfortably treat the diagnosed damaged tissue.
The root canal procedure basically involves cleaning of the infected or inflamed nerve in the tooth, removing the internal damaged pulp, filling the empty space and sealing the tooth.
Post treatment care ensures that your tooth lasts as long as your other teeth. Continue to practise good oral hygiene. This includes: brushing, flossing, regular dental check-ups, and cleanings.

Root canal surgery vs non-surgical root canal treatment explained… Occasionally, a non-surgical root canal procedure alone cannot save your tooth and surgery will be necessary. Root canal surgery can be used to locate small fractures or hidden canals that weren’t detected on x-rays or during previous treatment. Surgery may also be needed to treat damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone of the tooth. There are many surgical procedures that can be performed to save a tooth. The most common is called an  apicoectomy . What is an Apicoectomy? Apicoectomy procedure: the endodontist or root canal specialist opens the gum tissue near the tooth to see the underlying bone and to remove any inflamed or infected tissue. The very end of the root is also removed and a small filling may be placed to seal the end of the root canal and few stitches or sutures are placed to help the tissue heal. Over a period of months, the bone heals around the end of the root. Endodontists are trai...
