Maybe that\u2019s because over time, the treatment\u2019s been built up to be an unbearably painful and invasive experience. Here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betteryoursmile.com\/\">D\u2019Amico and Mauck, DDS<\/a>, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betteryoursmile.com\/contact-us.html\">Aurora, CO<\/a>, we want you to be fully informed and up-to-date about the variety of effective dental services we can provide you with, and that includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betteryoursmile.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">root canal treatment<\/a>, which certainly isn\u2019t as bad as it\u2019s been built up to be. In fact, <strong>root canal treatment<\/strong> is a crucial procedure that can save your natural teeth from having to be extracted due to extensive decay or infection. Here\u2019s some important information you need to know:<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kinds of symptoms show that I might need a root canal? <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Serious tooth pain when chewing<\/li>\n<li>Excessive sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the hot or cold source has been removed.<\/li>\n<li>Discoloration (specifically a darkening) of a tooth<\/li>\n<li>Swelling and tenderness in the gums<\/li>\n<li>A persistent pimple that occurs on the gums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What happens during root canal treatment? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simple enough \u2013 once Dr. D\u2019Amico or Dr. Mauck have carefully checked the area around the affected tooth in order to determine whether there\u2019s any infection in the surrounded bone, we\u2019ll access the inside of the tooth and the pulp and bacteria will be wholly cleaned out. Your tooth is then sealed. All that\u2019s left then is to see if you might need any further restorations to full functionality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it really worth the pain?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The procedure is incredibly successful, and many teeth that have been treated go on to last a lifetime. And don\u2019t worry \u2013 pain during <strong>root canal treatment<\/strong> has been greatly exaggerated. Most people report that it hurts no more than when receiving a common filling.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you may be in need of <strong>root canal treatment<\/strong>, don\u2019t wait any longer! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betteryoursmile.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. D\u2019Amico, Dr. Mauck and their excellent team<\/a> can provide you with comfortable and effective service that\u2019ll be sure to keep you smiling. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.betteryoursmile.com\/contact-us.html\">Call our office<\/a> in <strong>Aurora<\/strong> today to schedule your consultation.
