\"What<\/a>It may start off a just a slight twinge when you eat or drink hot or cold beverages or food. Nothing to worry about if it goes away, right? Next you may notice that the sensitivity is not going away as quickly, yet ibuprofen does the job. Before you know it, your tooth is waking you up during the night with severe pain, and your dentist is telling you that you need root canal therapy in Weatherford. How did this happen?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Process of Getting a Root Canal<\/h3>\n

A root canal is the most widely misunderstood dental procedure because patients associate it with pain. What most people don\u2019t realize however, is that the root canal is actually alleviating your pain, not causing it. That\u2019s right! It\u2019s actually the dental infection causing your pain.<\/p>\n

During root canal therapy in Aledo, our doctors will remove the infected tissue from within your tooth through a small access hole in the top of it. Once the infection is cleaned out, they\u2019ll seal your tooth with a temporary filling and allow it to heal. After the appropriate healing time has passed, they\u2019ll restore your tooth with either a permanent dental filling or crown to strengthen it.<\/p>\n

When do I need Root Canal Therapy?<\/h3>\n

When your tooth becomes injured, decayed, fractured, or infected beyond what a dental filling can repair, you\u2019ll need root canal therapy<\/a> to preserve your tooth. Being proactive about your oral health with regular cleaning appointments can help you avoid the decay that could cause an infection, because we screen for it at every checkup. Caught in its early stages, decay or cavities can typically be successfully managed with a less invasive dental filling.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re suffering from a dental infection however, it\u2019s important to note that it won\u2019t go away on its own. So please contact us right away if you\u2019re experiencing dental pain or sensitivity. If it\u2019s left untreated, your infection may spread to other critical areas of the body such as your brain, and it could also cause tooth loss.<\/p>\n
