While they may not be your favorite activity,\nroot canals in Carrollton can actually save your tooth from being extracted.\nPlus, it gets you out of pain, causing not nearly as much discomfort as their\nknown for. Keep reading to learn about when you need a root canal and why they\nmay be a better option for you than tooth extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Can My Tooth Be Saved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before root canals, teeth that were damaged or infected\ncouldn\u2019t be saved. Your dental pulp is the innermost layer of your tooth,\ncontaining sensitive nerves that can become damaged if your tooth is cracked or\nseverely decayed. This can lead to infection and the important dental pulp\ntissue in your tooth eventually dying. That\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familydentistcarrollton.com\/root-canal-treatments.html\">root\ncanals<\/a> will typically get patients out of pain instead of causing\ndiscomfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, with a root canal, your dentist can remove the diseased\nor infected pulp from your tooth, cleaning it to make sure there\u2019s no bacteria\nleft behind to cause problems. Then, they will seal it with a material called\n\u201cgutta percha,\u201d which replaces the damaged pulp. Your tooth will then be\nrestored with a crown or filling depending on the size of the decay or\ninfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Does My Tooth Need Extraction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, not all teeth can be saved. This can happen\nif your tooth is too severely decayed or damaged. At this point, your tooth is\ntoo weak for repair, making extraction your only option. This will typically be\nthe solution for a severe fracture or break in a tooth due to injury as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Root Canals Better Than Tooth Extractions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After examining your tooth, your dentist in Carrollton will\nprovide the best treatment for you. However, they favor root canals because\nthey maintain your natural tooth structure. Keeping your natural teeth will not\nonly save you money from avoiding a more costly replacement, but it can also\npromote healthier tissue in your mouth and around your surrounding teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the discomfort you may feel during or after a\nroot canal is short-lived compared to the pain that comes with tooth\nextraction. Your dentist will make sure you\u2019re numb, and they will also offer\nsedation dentistry to keep you calm, comfortable, and relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know more about root canals and why they\u2019re\nnecessary, visit a dentist that favors saving your teeth over extracting them\nto keep your smile healthy and happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A graduate of the NYU College of Dentistry, Dr. Chandy is a\ndentist who takes pride in her ability to save teeth rather than extract them.\nShe understands that maintaining your natural dental structure is not only good\nfor your health, but your pocketbook, too.
