Root Canal Therapy (RCT) is the most common type of Endodontic treatment. Root Canal Therapy refers to a treatment where the infected, injured or dead pulp that surrounds the nerves in your teeth is removed. At AXIS Dental Group, we have Endodontists on staff that can quickly assess your condition and decide if Root Canal Therapy is the right course of action for you.
Root Canals should be dealt with promptly. Failure to do so could result in considerable pain and discomfort and ultimately lead to bone and tooth loss.
If you are hesitant to take action because of possible pain or discomfort, thanks to all the horror stories you’ve heard, talk to your AXIS Dental Group professional about Sleep and Sedation Dentistry. You can opt to be asleep or sedated during your dental treatment. You won’t feel any discomfort and you’ll wake up with little stress or anxiety.
If you need a Root Canal, the one thing you can’t do is ignore it, even if you don’t have any noticeable symptoms. While you may not feel any pain now, symptoms can pop up suddenly, resulting in considerable pain and discomfort. The infection will remain until it is treated with root canal therapy. More importantly, the longer you have the infection the more bone you will likely lose around your teeth, which can significantly affect your overall oral health.
Putting off the inevitable will eventually make it impossible to restore your tooth. It could also lead to infections and calcification of the tooth, resulting in tooth loss and higher dental costs.
