Root canals have a terrible reputation, but much of the beliefs about them are untrue. In truth, root canals allow us to save your tooth and get rid of any tooth pain that comes with infection or decay. Many of our Wamego patients are happy with the results of root canal therapy.
If you notice that your gums are swollen, tender, bleeding, or red, then you may have an infection in your tooth. Many tooth issues don't have symptoms until it's too late, which is why root canals are usually performed as emergencies.
If you notice any tooth pain or swelling, call us right away at Wamego Dental Center in the 66547 area. It doesn't take long for a small toothache to become severe; we will work hard to relieve your pain and prevent it from getting worse.
Root Canals in Wamego, KS
The root canal process is very straightforward. Your general dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic so that you don't experience any pain or discomfort. There may be some pressure but never pain.
We will remove any infected or damaged tissue and sterilize the tooth. Finally, we close the tooth by covering it with a dental crown.
If you have a toothache or changes in your oral health, contact your Wamego, KS dentist today.
