Your Mansfield North ROOT CANAL EXPERTS
Frequently Asked Questions
Root canal jitters? Breathe easy!
Modern dentistry has transformed root canals. Local anesthesia ensures minimal discomfort during the procedure, and many patients experience little to no pain. Relax and let our skilled team take care of you.
Root canals and weakened teeth: Fact or fiction?
It's true that larger back teeth, especially molars, can become slightly more susceptible to fractures after a root canal. This is because they lose their blood supply and become slightly brittle. To address this, dentists often recommend a crown on back teeth after the procedure for added strength. However, front teeth generally don't require crowns following root canal treatment.
Fast-track your recovery with a same-day root canal!
At Today Dental of Mansfield North, we value your time and prioritize your comfort. We dedicate specific slots in our schedule for same-day root canals, aiming to get you out of pain and on the road to recovery as quickly as possible. In the unlikely event that our office is closed, we'll collaborate with our partner clinic to ensure you receive immediate care.
Pain-free doesn't always mean a healthy tooth.
A crucial point to remember is that a root canal might be necessary even when you experience no pain. This often means the tooth is already "dead" (lacking a nerve), explaining the absence of discomfort. However, the infection inside the tooth can still spread and lead to serious complications like abscesses if left untreated. Our dentists utilize a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, to diagnose your specific needs and recommend the best course of action.
Extraction vs. Root Canal: Making an informed decision.
While pulling a tooth may seem like a quicker fix initially, it can often lead to greater financial burdens down the line. Replacing a missing tooth with implants or dentures can be significantly more expensive than saving the natural tooth with a root canal (and potentially a crown). Additionally, each tooth plays a critical role in maintaining the structure and function of your jaw and preventing surrounding teeth from shifting and misaligning. Choosing a root canal can not only save you money but also contribute to a long-term healthy and stable smile, preserving your natural teeth for optimal functionality and aesthetics.
