Do I Need Root Canal Therapy?
Common symptoms that might indicate a need for root canal therapy include a severe toothache, increased sensitivity to hot and cold, swelling, and discoloration. However, some cases might not exhibit any symptoms at all. Because of this, regular dental checkups are a must. These exams give us the chance to look for signs of decay and disease, and we can use our findings to determine if root canal therapy is needed.
Children can sometimes need root canal therapy, too. When an infection threatens the baby tooth, it may seem like a simple problem to deal with; the tooth is going to come out eventually, right? But these teeth serve a very important purpose, and we want your child to keep their baby teeth until the right time. If infected pulp threatens one of your child’s baby teeth, we can perform children’s root canal therapy (commonly called a pulpotomy).
What Happens if I Put off Getting Root Canal Therapy?
Many people fear root canal therapy, but in reality, this treatment can be comfortable and a far more attractive option than the alternative. Without root canal therapy, you’ll need to have the tooth removed, and then you’ll require tooth replacement treatment. Root canal therapy in Hutchinson is a more conservative option, saving you time and money in the long run. Also, because we offer oral sedation, you can experience pain-free and stress-free treatment.
