Comfortable Root Canals for Pain-Free Smiles
Root canals are commonly misunderstood, but at Peppermint Dental & Orthodontics, we strive to improve their reputation and save your natural tooth. If you are noticing any of the following signs, it could mean that the nerve of your tooth is damaged or infected:
- experiencing a severe toothache
- feeling pain when chewing or when pressure is applied
- having prolonged sensitivity to temperatures
- noticing dark discoloration of the tooth
- experiencing swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums
Our team at Peppermint Dental & Orthodontics may be able to save your problem tooth with a straightforward root canal procedure. We prioritize your comfort, so most root canals we perform feel similar to getting a tooth filled. Contact us to schedule an appointment, and we'll take care of the rest.
Root Canal Treatment Signs
Please be mindful of the following signs that may indicate a tooth infection or abscess:
- Severe tooth pain
- Jaw discomfort or inflammation
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Gum bump resembling a pimple
- Swollen, red, or puffy gums
- Bad taste or smell in mouth
If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned and suspect a tooth infection, please contact our dental office immediately. It is important to address an infected root canal promptly, not only for your comfort but also for your overall health, safety, and well-being.
What occurs during a root canal procedure?
Getting a root canal may cause anxiety for some patients, but there is no need to be afraid as it is not a scary procedure. The use of anesthesia and advanced technology greatly improves patient comfort and overall results. Patients typically feel significant relief right after the procedure.
We Guarantee Your Comfort
If you experience dental anxiety, we offer the perfect solution for you. Our oral sedation will help you stay calm and relaxed during your dental procedure. We also prioritize your comfort by offering neck pillows, blankets, and TVs in our treatment rooms.
Before beginning the treatment, our dentist will administer a powerful local anesthetic to numb the tooth. This guarantees that you will not feel any pain during the procedure. If you arrived at our clinic in pain, you will feel immediate relief once the tooth is numb!
