Indications of a pulp infection include visible swelling of the tooth, heightened sensitivity to temperature changes, and tooth and gum pain. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek a consultation with our team at Craft of Dentistry.
When an infected tooth pulp is diagnosed, root canal therapy becomes the recommended course of action. This procedure involves the careful removal of the infected pulp from the tooth chamber, followed by a thorough cleaning of the canals using a disinfecting solution. Our experienced team will ensure your comfort during the procedure by administering local anesthesia or sedation as needed.
Before leaving our office, a temporary filling will be placed over the treated tooth until the final restoration is completed. It’s normal to experience sensitivity in the treated tooth for the first few days, and we will provide guidance on appropriate medications to alleviate any discomfort. It’s important to avoid putting excessive pressure on the treated tooth while eating until the full restoration is in place. If any concerns arise, don’t hesitate to contact Craft of Dentistry immediately for prompt assistance.
By undergoing root canal therapy, you can preserve your natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction. Take the first step towards saving your tooth by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Yaron Shvets at Craft of Dentistry. Contact our office today and let us restore your dental health and comfort.
