Sometimes a root canal is necessary for a patient. When making a determination as to whether a root canal is necessary, a dentist or root canal specialist will look for particular signs. Some of these signs include tooth pain, sensitivity, tenderness, or discoloration, as well as lymph node tenderness or gum swelling. There are other signs to look for as well, and only a proper professional can help in this area.

Inside a patient’s tooth is soft tissue that can become inflamed or infected. This can happen if the tooth has deep decay, a crack, or a chip, or has had many dental procedures performed on it. If the tooth is left untreated, the issue can worsen and an abscess can form. This abscess can be devastating for the tooth, and when this tooth suffers, surrounding teeth suffer too. The procedure that can prevent all this from happening is the root canal.

A root canal is a procedure that removes the unhealthy soft tissue inside the tooth which will prevent any further complications and allow the tooth to be nourished by healthier tissues. Your tooth won’t miss the soft tissue that’s removed because healthier tissues will nourish your tooth instead. As a result, your tooth will become healthier and likely stay healthy!

The root canal procedure saves the tooth, which benefits the surrounding teeth and your bite! After the procedure, you’ll experience a bit of pain, but because our root canal specialists are so good at what they do, you’ll recover quickly.

Here at Ideal Endodontics, our root canal dentists are Dr. Moein Darjani DDS, and Dr. Ali Manesh, DMD. Both of the doctors are specialists in root canals and root canal therapy, so they understand precisely what to look for when determining whether a patient needs a root canal, and they are more than qualified to perform the procedure for you.
