A patient needs a
Wallingford root canal when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. The nerve of the tooth is located inside the tooth, and is also referred to as the pulp. During a root canal, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned out, and all signs of decay or infection are removed by the dentist. Then the tooth is sealed so that any new bacteria is kept out. This is to ensure that infection will not recur. Usually after root canal therapy, the tooth will be fitted with a porcelain crown to strengthen and protect the tooth. This way the tooth will be able to return to full function, and the patient will be able to eat anything he or she wants. The porcelain crown is made to color match the adjacent teeth, so it is just about impossible for anyone to notice that it is anything other than a natural tooth. Symptoms that you may need a root canal are generally an acute dental pain. Additionally, your tooth is sensitive to hot, cold, or percussion. Root canal treatments at our office are generally completed in one visit. Dr. Saleem is a highly-trained dentist in the specialty of endodontics, and our root canals are about 90% effective in saving teeth. Retreatment is sometimes needed. If you think you may be in need of root canal therapy, contact our office for an appointment with Dr. Saleem.
