Root Canal Treatment in Albany, GA
When Root Canal Treatment May Be Recommended
Deep decay, cracks or trauma can affect the pulp inside a tooth. Only a clinical examination can determine whether root canal treatment is appropriate.
Symptoms to Discuss With a Dentist
Lingering tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling or tenderness may warrant evaluation. Do not self-diagnose.
What to Expect During Treatment
The tooth is anesthetized, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and shaped, and the space is sealed. A crown is often recommended afterward.
After a Root Canal
Mild tenderness for a few days is common. Persistent pain, swelling or drainage should be evaluated promptly.
Alternatives
When the tooth cannot be saved, extraction may be considered along with replacement options.
Cost Factors
Cost depends on the tooth, the complexity of the canals, whether a crown is needed and insurance participation.
