Reasons You May Need Root Canal Therapy

Although every patient will be different concerning their need for root canal therapy, the four most common reasons are:

• Deep decay that has spread to the pulp or roots of the tooth
• Repetitive dental procedures performed on the same tooth
• Dental crowns that have become compromised or faulty
• Cracks, chips, or injury to a tooth that will result in pulp inflammation if left untreated

One of the overriding reasons to consider root canal treatment from our dentists near you is to help you maintain your natural tooth for as long as possible. There’s an increased risk of infection and total tooth loss without this therapy, two outcomes that require additional treatments such as periodontal treatment or tooth replacement.

The Truth About Root Canal Therapy

For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, many patients believe that root canal treatment is painful. While that may have been true in decades past, modern equipment and treatment protocols, including sedation dentistry, mean that the experience does not feel much different than getting a filling. Plus, it’s not uncommon for pain or discomfort to be a symptom of the need for root canal therapy, so once the procedure is complete, that pain is gone!
