Saving Your Natural Smile: When is a Root Canal Necessary?
Don't fear the root canal. Crown Dental Group in National City uses advanced tech to save your natural teeth and eliminate pain comfortably.
There is a common misconception that root canals are painful. At Crown Dental Group, we use advanced technology and gentle techniques to prove that a root canal is actually the procedure that stops the pain. Our goal is always to save your natural tooth whenever possible.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
If a tooth is severely decayed or infected, the pulp inside can become inflamed. Ignoring the signs can lead to an abscess or the need for a full extraction.
Signs You Might Need Treatment:
- Lingering Sensitivity: Sharp pain when consuming hot or cold foods that lasts long after the source is gone.
- Persistent Aching: A deep, throbbing pain in the jaw or tooth.
- Swollen Gums: Tenderness or a small “pimple” on the gums near the painful tooth.
