Keep Your Smile Beautiful with Root Canal Infection Treatment

If you live in Beverly Hills, California, and have an infected tooth, you’re probably in pain and in need of a root canal treatment. While root canal therapy may have been painful back in the day, modern dentistry advances at Ravon Dental have made this a comfortable procedure for patients with root canal infections. 

Who Can Benefit from a Root Canal?

First, you need to visit your dentist because they are the only ones who can know for sure if you can benefit from root canal therapy. If you are experiencing any of the below symptoms, we recommend making an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. 

• Tooth sensitivity to either cold or hot beverages and food
• Nagging toothaches that may go away but always return
• Pain when biting down on a tooth
• A tooth that has turned gray in color
• Sores or blisters in the gums near a painful tooth
• Persistent bad breath that you can’t control with good oral hygiene

Seeing a dentist right away will minimize further pain and damage. Also, if you have had a root canal in the past, it’s possible that the root canal was unsuccessful. If this has happened, you may need a second treatment. Root canals can be unsuccessful if the tooth doesn’t heal as you expected or bacteria contaminates the inside of the tooth. 

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

If your dentist determines that you need a root canal, you will reap these benefits:

• The infection won’t spread to your other teeth
• The affected tooth will be covered with a crown or dental filling
• Receiving a root canal can effectively save your tooth
• Your oral health will be significantly improved
• Once the root canal is done, there will be no more pain in that tooth
• A root canal can prevent the jawbone from degenerating
