Endodontic Dentistry Services
At Grossi Dental and Wellness, saving your tooth from extraction is extremely important to us. Treating an infection with root canal therapy can prevent the loss of a tooth while also preventing the spread of infection. Root canal therapy can take one to two visits to the dentist and pricing can vary with each situation.
Root canals are narrow chambers that anchor the tooth into your gums. When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected by either a deep cavity or fracture, it can spread into the root canal and root tips. When this happens, and treatment is delayed, serious infection can pass into the jawbone. Once the infection sets in, it can damage the bone that surrounds the tooth. As a result, the pressure inside the bone and ligaments can cause excruciating pain. If treatment is delayed even further, the problem can become even more serious.
Any infection has the potential to be serious and should be immediately addressed. However, before the problem gets to that point, consult Grossi Dental. Telltale signs that you’re experiencing a root canal infection include sensitivity to hot and cold, swollen and painful gums surrounding the tooth, or a bad taste in your mouth. Sometimes, you may have no symptoms at all, which is an important reason to have regular dentist checkups.
Maintaining the health of your mouth can be the most beneficial care you can do for yourself. Experience the difference of a healthier smile and mouth by scheduling an appointment with us today.
Root canal treatment is often no more painful than getting a filling. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Some soreness afterward is normal, but it typically subsides within a few days.
The duration of a root canal treatment depends on the complexity of the case, but most procedures can be completed in one to two hours. In some cases, multiple visits may be necessary, especially if a crown is required.
We help you attain and maintain a healthy mouth, which has a direct impact on the health of the rest of your body. No matter what your needs or goals for your smile may be, the Grossi Dental team is here to help.
