Root Canal Therapy Is A Smile-Saving Treatment
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontics, is a standard dental procedure that addresses significant tooth decay. As a dentist in Charlotte, we often provide root canals when decay has progressed too far to be able to remove it and place a filling.
You may need a root canal if you’re experiencing any of the following:
- Sharp sensitivity to cold and hot
- An abscess that resembles a small pimple near the tooth or on the gums
- Major tooth pain when pressure is put on it, such as while eating.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t be afraid to pick up the phone and call us. Many people who have never had root canal therapy get scared off because of horror stories or misinformation. We can reassure you that it’s a safe and effective treatment. And if we provide you with this treatment, you’ll be surprised by how much we can help you relax during the appointment.
A Worry-Free Root Canal Experience
We’ll be right alongside you during every stage of the process, including assisting with payment arrangements or supporting you with your insurance claim. We’ll also provide the form of sedation that is best for your unique situation.
When we look at providing this treatment to you, we have two main goals in mind. The first is to get you out of pain right away. The second is to save your tooth. By keeping the tooth, the rest of your natural teeth won’t shift around. And that can spell trouble for your smile, both from an aesthetics and function perspective.
So, what are you waiting for? If you’re currently suffering from tooth pain, call us right away. We’ll give you the help you need so you can get back to enjoying a healthy, beautiful smile.
