How worried should you be if you think your tooth might have developed an infection? If an infection is not addressed in time, bacteria that are accumulating in your tooth can actually travel through the roots and create new issues that affect your well-being. If the damage is serious enough, an infection can also lead to the loss of your tooth! Your Rochester, MN dentist is prepared to take on a tooth infection. Through root canal therapy, damaged tissues and bacteria can be carefully removed from the tooth before it is sealed and restored.
The Symptoms Of An Infected Tooth Can Be Difficult To Ignore
If you have an infected tooth, the symptoms you experience can be difficult to ignore. You may feel unable to bite and chew because of the pain you are in, and you may develop worrying swelling around the tooth. You may also notice changes to the tooth’s appearance that concern you. The pain of an infection is often serious enough to make a patient prioritize treatment. If you attempt to ignore it, you should be aware that you can allow the infection to worsen to the point where your tooth cannot be saved.
Scheduling Restorative Treatment For Your Tooth
In order to restore the health of your tooth, we can perform a root canal. Some people can shy away from the root canal because they associate it with “serious” dental work, and worry about the experience. We take care to make care as comfortable as possible any time we take care of a person’s smile. You should also know that the root canal treatment can actually put a stop to your issues with discomfort, as it leads to the successful stopping of damage to the interior of your tooth.
