Eradicate Tooth Pain & Restore Your Oral Health With Root Canal Treatment

When you’re experiencing significant oral discomfort, you may be in need of root canal treatment to save your tooth. Our trained and experienced team at Sea Isle Smiles is here to alleviate pain, remove infection, and help you preserve your smile!

What’s Involved With Root Canal Treatment?

• Our dentist will examine the tooth and take X-rays to gain a thorough understanding of its condition. Should a root canal treatment be required, we’ll discuss the importance of receiving prompt care to you, and should you decide to move ahead with treatment, local anesthesia will be administered to relieve your pain and freeze the tooth.
• Our dentist will remove infected pulp tissue from your tooth and clean its canals. The area will then be filled with biocompatible material and closed to avoid re-infection.
• Our dentist will temporarily repair your tooth with composite material and will recommend that you protect it for the long term with a highly durable and long-lasting dental crown.

How Can I Tell If I Need This Procedure?

If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms below, you may require root canal treatment:

• Extreme tooth irritation or gum inflammation
• Sensitivity to hot or cold drinks and food
• Discoloration or darkening on the front of the teeth
• A “pimple” on your gums near the tooth in question

Root canal treatment can relieve tooth pain, remove infection, and save an infected tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Call us today if you suspect you may need or benefit from this service!
