Charlotte Progressive Dentistry – Endodontics in Charlotte, NC 28226
In most cases, the need for root canal treatment stems from having an infection inside your tooth or near the root. For many people, the first symptom they experience is pain, and that is why many patients associate root canal therapy with pain. In most cases, however, root canal therapy will eliminate your symptoms and allow us to save your tooth.
Symptoms to look for:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Sensitivity
- Pressure
- Facial swelling
Without the proper treatment, an untreated root canal infection can lead to an extraction. For most patients, keeping their teeth is the healthiest and most affordable option available. When you lose teeth, your overall oral health suffers due to bone loss and the shifting of your natural teeth that occur after an extraction. This creates problems with your bite, your ability to chew and speak properly, and your appearance. That is why we make every effort to save your tooth! Please don’t hesitate to call if you think you may be in need of endodontic treatment!
