Save Your Smile With Root Canal Therapy

Teeth are fragile and can sometimes become severely damaged, decayed, or infected. If you’re currently worried about the health of your smile, especially if it’s suffering from any of those symptoms, you don’t have to assume that your teeth must be extracted. Root canal therapy in Berlin, Hartford, and East Hartford, CT, may be the solution to recovering your smile!

Who Can Benefit From Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a valuable dental procedure that can help relieve pain and prevent teeth from being removed. This treatment may be ideal for anyone struggling with serious tooth pain or infection, as well as:

• Patients Suffering From Severe Toothache: When you are experiencing constant or severe tooth pain, potentially due to a deep cavity or an infection in the tooth pulp, root canal therapy can address those issues.
• Individuals With Cracked Or Fractured Teeth: This restorative treatment may address and help resolve teeth with fractures or cracks that reveal the tooth pulp, stopping additional damage and preserving the tooth's integrity.
• Patients With Tooth Injuries: Even in cases where there aren't any obvious signs of chips or cracks, trauma to the tooth can harm the pulp, potentially making root canal therapy necessary to preserve the tooth.
• Individuals With Repeated Dental Procedures: Root canal therapy may restore teeth that have undergone multiple treatments, affecting the tooth pulp.

Caring For Treated Teeth After Root Canal Procedure

Taking good care of your tooth after root canal therapy can help ensure proper mending and a healthy smile.

• Avoid Chewing On Hard Foods: Protect the treated teeth from stress and avoid applying pressure.
• Preserve Oral Hygiene: To avoid infection, brush after each meal and floss daily.
• No Smoking: Smoking can impact the root canal treatment and healing time.
• Show Up For Follow-Up Appointments: This allows our dentist to monitor your healing and ensure the restoration was done correctly.

If your tooth is decayed, infected, or damaged, acting quickly might make all the difference. Reach out to Katz Family Dental Care, Burnside Dental Care or Farmington Avenue Dental Care for a root canal consultation!
