Endodontics
Endodontics IN HIALEAH, FL
At LA Family Dentistry, we are committed to providing our patients with comprehensive care for all of their dental needs. This includes endodontics, which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of teeth.
Endodontic treatment, commonly known as a root canal, is often necessary when the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged. This can cause pain and sensitivity, as well as potential abscesses and other complications.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms that indicate you might have endodontic problems will include:
- Tooth Pain: Tooth pain is a common symptom of endodontic issues. The pain may be constant or come and go, and it can be mild or severe.
- Sensitivity: Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures is another common symptom of endodontic issues. You may feel a sharp, shooting pain when you eat or drink something hot or cold.
- Swelling: Swelling around the affected tooth or in the gums near the tooth can be a sign of endodontic issues. The swelling may be tender to the touch and may cause discomfort.
- Discoloration: Discoloration of the affected tooth is a common symptom of endodontic issues. The tooth may appear gray or darker than the surrounding teeth.
- Abscess: An abscess is a pocket of pus that forms around the infected tooth. It can cause swelling, pain, and a bad taste in the mouth.
- Bad breath: Bad breath is another symptom of endodontic issues. The infection in the tooth can cause an unpleasant odor in the mouth.
Our experienced endodontist will carefully assess your specific condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan. We use the latest techniques and technology to ensure that your treatment is efficient, effective, and as comfortable as possible.
We understand that many patients may feel anxious or nervous about endodontic treatment. That’s why we offer sedation options to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during your procedure.
