Root Canal PA

If you have a tooth with a diseased nerve, then you would more than likely lose that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called root canal treatment, your tooth can be saved. Root canals are relatively simple procedure to save your natural teeth. Having a root canal when necessary can save your tooth and your smile.

The basic content of your tooth is a pulp like material. This pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, cracks and chips, deep decay or repeated dental procedures. Teeth that require root canal therapy are not always painful. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums, severe toothache, pain while chewing, prolonged sensitivity or pain in response to hot or cold temperatures, a dark discoloration of the tooth, and swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums.
