Katie cleans my teeth and is very thorough.  Checkout at the front is always a pleasure with Carolyn (they are all awesome).  Doesn’t get any better than Gentle Dental in Nashua.

Recognizing Root Canal Symptoms

If you're experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity, it might be a sign that you need a root canal. These symptoms can indicate underlying issues within the tooth's root, such as infection or inflammation. Recognizing these signs early is key to addressing the problem effectively and preserving your natural tooth. Our expert team at Nashua Main St is ready to provide comprehensive care to relieve your pain and restore your dental health.

  • Severe toothache during chewing or application of pressure
  • Prolonged sensitivity or pain in response to hot and cold temperatures
  • Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
  • Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
  • A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums

Root Canal Therapy at Nashua Main St

Root canal therapy is essential for saving a tooth compromised by infection or decay. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.

At our Nashua Main St clinic, our specialists employ advanced techniques and technology to ensure the therapy is both effective and comfortable. The treatment not only relieves pain but also restores the functionality of the tooth, allowing normal chewing and biting without discomfort. Recovery times are typically short, with minimal post-treatment care required. Our team is committed to supporting you throughout the process, from initial consultation to follow-up care, to ensure your dental health is fully restored.

Root Canal or Endodontic Surgery

Sometimes a standard root canal is not enough to resolve complex issues within the tooth’s root system. In these cases, endodontic surgery, such as an apicoectomy, may be necessary. This procedure involves removing the tip of the tooth's root and sealing it to prevent further infection, typically recommended for unresolved infections or complicated root structures that a regular root canal can’t address.

At Gentle Dental, our specialists are skilled in both determining the need for and performing this precise surgery. We use the latest technology to ensure optimal outcomes, focusing on pain relief, infection control, and the preservation of your natural tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a root canal?

A root canal is a dental treatment designed to remove infected or inflamed tissue from within a tooth's root canals, disinfecting and filling them to restore and protect the tooth from further infection.
 

Is a root canal painful?

Modern root canal procedures are typically pain-free, thanks to effective local anesthesia and advances in dental technology. Any post-procedure discomfort can generally be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
 

What happens if I don't have a root canal?

Skipping a necessary root canal can lead to severe pain, further infection, and potential tooth loss. It can also increase the risk of systemic infection spreading to other parts of the body.
 

How much does a root canal cost?

The cost of a root canal varies based on the affected tooth and the complexity of the case. It typically ranges from $500 to $2000, but dental insurance may cover part of the cost.
 

Are there any alternative treatment choices for a root canal?

The primary alternative to a root canal is tooth extraction, followed by replacement with an implant or bridge. However, preserving the natural tooth is generally preferable.
 

What is the root canal process like?

The root canal procedure involves numbing the tooth, removing the pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system, and filling it with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed with a temporary filling, often followed by a crown.
 

Can a tooth have 2 root canals?

Yes, depending on the tooth's anatomy, it can have multiple root canals. Molars, for instance, typically have two to three canals that might each require treatment.
