Recovery and Aftercare
Root canal infections don’t go away on their own. Even if the pain subsides, it only means the nerves inside your tooth have died. Infection can still spread from the pulp to the tooth roots, your gums, and into your bloodstream, putting you at risk for serious complications.
A root canal now may save you from needing an extraction later. Follow-up extraction procedures such as placing a dental implant will add to your time in the dentist’s chair, not to mention add to your costs. If fear of pain is holding you back, rest assured that modern root canals performed at our office are virtually painless. Sedation options are available for apprehensive patients.
