When you have an infection in the root of your tooth experiencing dental pain that has gone from bad to worse in a short amount of time, we will likely recommend a root canal treatment. The treatment is a common procedure that can save an infected tooth and alleviate the pain of a toothache.
The procedure involves creating access to the interior of your tooth so we can remove the infected nerve tissue and pulp. Although the procedure is often associated with pain, it is usually the pain of toothache that people are thinking about.
Dental pain is never normal, and if you have a severe toothache, you may have an infection deep within the tooth root. We welcome your call to our dental surgery to book an appointment for an examination so we can determine whether or not you need a root canal.
