Root canal treatment in Lodi or Elk Grove, CA, is a treatment we use to ease pain and swelling by removing infection from your tooth.
A tooth root infection can be excruciating, cause face swelling, and put adjacent teeth at risk for loss. Fortunately, gentle root canal therapy can prevent these complications.
Root Infection Causes and Prevention
When bacteria penetrate your tooth to the canal, you are at risk for infection. Bacteria can penetrate the tooth if you have untreated decay, untreated damage, poor oral hygiene, or insufficient dental care.
To help lower your infection risks, you should visit the dentist every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings. It’s also essential to implement an excellent oral care routine at home. If you injure your tooth or notice oral health changes like tooth sensitivity, we recommend contacting our dental office for an assessment.
Remember, root canal therapy is not painful—it is pain-relieving! It can also save your teeth and oral health.
