You just want the pain to go away, and you may think that it would be easier and better to get your tooth removed altogether. So now you\u2019re faced with a tough decision of whether to get your tooth extracted. It\u2019s hard to say goodbye to your natural tooth and consider the unflattering gap that will be left over. You may have another option that could allow you to keep your tooth. Root canals in Worthington could save your damaged teeth from extraction and give you the relief that you need.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Root Canals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have just visited the dentist and discovered that\nthe pulp, or deepest most sensitive layer of your tooth, is infected or\ndamaged. If the tooth isn\u2019t decayed or is in decent enough condition to remain\nin your mouth, a root canal may be the option for you. Although there\u2019s a\ncommon myth that root canals can be painful, in reality they provide you with\nrelief from the searing toothache that you\u2019ve been experiencing and are\npractically painless procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how does a root canal work? Your dentist numbs the area\naround your tooth before they begin the procedure. Using special instruments,\nthey clean out the pulp of your tooth to make sure that no bacteria is left\nover. After that, they fill the area to replace the pulp so it can function just\nlike before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth Extractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, tooth extractions are your last resort because\nyou can\u2019t get your natural tooth back once it\u2019s been removed. If your infected\ntooth has suffered irreparable damage, your dentist may suggest that it be\nremoved because a root canal cannot be performed on it. The after effects of a\ntooth extraction could include bleeding, face swelling\nand a change in diet for a few days. It can impact your ability to eat or alter\nyour jaw bone density. Be aware that after this procedure, it could take two or\nmore weeks to fully recover so it\u2019s important to gently brush and floss around\nthe affected area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work With Your Dentist To Find What\u2019s Right For You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While both procedures could be beneficial depending on your\nsituation, your dentist in Worthington can ultimately point you towards the\nright option for you. While many people believe that undergoing an extraction\ncan save them from having a root canal, that\u2019s not always the case. Not only\nwill you have a longer recovery time, but you\u2019ll also have to alter your\nday-to-day life while your gums heal for weeks after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you make the decision to remove a natural tooth, you\ncan never get it back. Although modern dental technology can give you options\nthat look natural, it will ultimately cost you more money in the long run. Saving\nyour natural teeth is imperative for your oral health. Don\u2019t wait to discuss\nyour symptoms with your dentist, instead, catch the small problems before they\nget larger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. LJ Adam has been serving his community of Worthington\nfor over a decade.
