When a tooth has a severe cavity or there is an infection, it will be necessary for the patient to have the problem taken care of immediately. Usually the patient will need to undergo root canal surgery, which involves the removal of the pulp and the nerve that are inside the tooth. Then, the tooth is cleaned and sealed. If the patient doesn’t have this treatment, the problem is only going to get worse. The tooth can become infected, which can lead to abscesses, which are extremely painful and can only be treated by lancing or with antibiotics. Removing the nerve is not going to damage the tooth, as its only purpose is to provide sensitivity to hot and cold.
A root canal in Chicago is necessary when the nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, and bacteria is growing around the pulp. This can lead to abscesses, which is a lump filled with pus near the end of the tooth’s root. It can cause the entire side of the face to swell, make it difficult to talk or eat, and severe headaches, not to mention mouth pain. Abscesses can cause bone loss near the tip of the root of the tooth, and can create holes in teeth. Pus can drain through these holes, and can cause nausea if swallowed.
There are a few things that can make it necessary for a patient to have a root canal in Chicago. If there is a lot of decay, the tooth can become infected. Also, if there have been many dental procedures such as fillings on a tooth, eventually a root canal in Chicago will be the only option other than removal of the tooth. Trauma to the face, as well as cracked or chipped teeth can also lead to nerve and pulp damage.
Generally, there are signs that a Root Canal Chicago is necessary, although sometimes there are no signs at all. If one has pain when they chew, or swelling and tenderness in the gums, or if they have a lot of sensitivity to hot and cold, it is a good indication that they need this procedure.
