Historically, root canals have gotten a bad rap, but the good news is that advances in dental technology have made it painless with more than a 95% success rate.
When a tooth becomes infected or abscessed, severely decayed or injured, or a nerve is damaged, you may need a root canal. Symptoms of infection include:
Left untreated, a root canal infection can cause swelling in the face or neck, tooth loss, and infection draining into the gums, cheek or skin. The only alternative to a root canal is having the tooth extracted and replaced with a bridge, implant, or partial denture, a far more expensive and time-consuming than a root canal.
Palm Springs Family & Cosmetic Dentistry can help you determine the best way to save your tooth and your smile.
