Drinking hot coffee or cold ice water is always a problem and you have to consciously avoid coming in contact with that area. And, for the past few weeks, the tenderness has increased and is a constant problem \u2013 your mouth is chronically sore. When you see Dr. Angelo Julovich, your dentist in Zionsville, he tells you that you have an oral infection and that a root canal<\/a> will end the pain. In this post, he discusses what root canal therapy is and how it can benefit you.\r\n

What Is Root Canal Therapy?<\/h2>\r\nRoot canal therapy is a way to cure oral infections of the tooth root. The pulp \u2013 the inner layer of the tooth \u2013 can become inflamed and diseased. This usually happens when cavities eat through the enamel and dentin, and the decay infects the pulp. Generally, your tooth will be sensitive, and you\u2019ll notice pain when you chew \u2013 although patients who have no pain sometimes need root canals because the infection has compromised the nerve of the tooth past the point of feeling pain.\r\n\r\n \r\n

What Happens In A Root Canal?<\/h2>\r\nIn this procedure, Dr. Julovich will numb the area to make sure you are completely comfortable throughout your treatment. He\u2019ll open the tooth to access the diseased area and will remove the infected pulp.\r\n\r\nDr. Julovich will then fill in the area where the pulp was with a biocompatible substance called gutta-percha. At that point, he\u2019ll place either a tooth-colored-filling or a porcelain dental crown over the top to protect the treatment. Then, you\u2019ll be done \u2013 the pain will be gone, and you\u2019ll have a lot to smile about.\r\n

Will Having A Root Canal Hurt?<\/h2>\r\nThis is a common myth among patients, but contrary to popular misconception, root canals actually treat your pain<\/a>. Since the infection is what is causing your discomfort, removing this tissue will relieve the aching, sensitivity, and tenderness you\u2019ve been feeling.\r\n

Will A Root Canal Be Expensive?<\/h2>\r\nSince root canal therapy is a necessary medical treatment, most patients have coverage for this procedure. At our practice, we proudly accept many plans \u2013 we\u2019re happy to submit claims to any provider. We also offer CareCredit financing for those who may be worried about gaps in their insurance.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nNow that you know what a root canal is, that it\u2019s actually the answer to end your pain, and that you can afford to have the discomfort taken care of, schedule your appointment<\/a> with Trinity Dental today!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For longer than you\u2019d like to admit, you\u2019ve had sensitivity in the first molar on the lower right side of your mouth.
