Are you experiencing a subtle sensitivity to hot foods or possibly sharp pains from cold beverages? Discomforts when biting or chewing, and obvious temperature sensitivity is often a sign of infection or damage deep within the tooth root. Many situations can result in a severe toothache including a crack or fracture, injury to a tooth, or tooth decay that has compromised the pulp inside of the tooth. Ignoring the treatment of a persistent toothache will allow the infection to fester, eventually causing extreme pains in the tooth. A tooth abscess forms after an infection goes untreated too long and the eventual prognosis will require the tooth being removed. If you’re experiencing apparent symptoms like toothaches and extreme sensitivity, we have a solution to restore you to complete comfort and function—and save your tooth from extraction.
Our dentist at Riverdale Dental is trained and experienced in providing endodontic treatment including root canals in Lee County, FL. Root canals treat and remove the dangerous infection and inflammation inside your tooth before it can spread. Don’t let the stigma surrounding this procedure cause you apprehension or lead you to put off your treatment. When we offer root canals to Lee County, FL residents they’re designed to comfortably eliminate your tooth pain (not cause more) and ultimately save your natural tooth! We partner with leading insurance companies to ensure your entire treatment process is painless and easy.
Root canal therapy in Lee County, FL involves removing a portion of the tooth crown to gain access to the pulp chamber and clear out all the infection, bacteria, and damaged pulp and tissues. Disinfecting and cleaning the canals is the next step before filling them with a hardening material call gutta-percha. The tooth will then be sealed to keep bacteria from entering the chamber and root canal and covered with a dental crown to ensure it remains strong and functional after treatment.
Once your endodontic procedure at Riverdale Dental is complete, you’ll be able to live a comfortable and functional life again without any tooth pain. We’ll provide the necessary instructions to ensure your recovery is fast and healthy. In general, you can expect the following benefits from treatment:
