3 Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Posted .

Your dentist may have recommended root canal therapy for you. Your reaction may have been one of anxiety, concern or nervousness. So, what is a root canal? Root canals are performed to reduce pain, discomfort and infection. Call us today for an evaluation consultation at 770-939-5122 if you are experiencing any of the symptoms below:

  1. Extremely hot and cold sensitive tooth.
  2. Pain upon biting into a tooth.
  3. Pus or pimple around the tooth gums.

Your dentist will access the tooth pulp, which is in the center of the tooth, using specialized tools to clean and disinfect the tooth. The pulp canals and chambers are then permanently sealed with rubber-based material called Gutta Percha.

Dental pain and infection can be highly debilitating, potentially resulting in major head and neck infections and require major surgery. Our team at Lavista Park Family Dentistry prides itself on providing 100% percent pain-free root canal treatments for our patients.
