When your teeth have been badly affected by decay, the harmful bacteria may enter your tooth and cause a severe infection. Neglecting an aching and infected tooth may result in its removal, but seeing a dentist can prevent the issues at an early stage.
There are many factors that can indicate the pulp of your tooth has been infected. Some of the symptoms may include:
During your treatment, the dentist will clean the canal of your affected tooth to remove any bacteria. After root canal cleansing, your tooth will be sealed with a filling or a crown to prevent any new bacteria from entering again.
To make your visit as pleasant as possible, you may be given a local anaesthetic. If you’re a nervous patient, dental sedation may also be provided at Premier Dental.
