Endodontic Root Canal

Of course when considering your options for endodontics in Pasadena, you as the patient have the option to not go through with your root canal treatment, but we highly recommend you do. However, we are sure you have probably given putting off the treatment a thought, so we want to share with you what could happen if you don’t pursue treatment. Abscessed teeth aren’t fun, but neither is an infection over your entire body. Unfortunately, these are both things that could happen if your tooth is left untreated. The infection within the nerve of your tooth will penetrate your gums and jaw creating an abscess, and if it spreads even further it could create a life threatening infection throughout your entire body. It is important to remember that your infected root won’t get better by itself. In fact, the longer you wait the more the infection impacts the feeling in your gums. Over time you may think the infection is going away because you feel less pain, but that is actually a sign it is getting worse. Finally, a root canal in Pasadena could save you money. We have already expressed that your infection won’t get better on its own, so paying for a root canal now, will save you from needing further treatment down the road, especially if you lose your tooth. If your tooth is not surgically handled and falls out, it makes the surrounding teeth more susceptible to infection and tooth decay. Also, if you want to use restorative procedures later such as a bridge, implant or dentures, the area will require more preparation work for these restorative treatments if not originally cared for properly. Any dentist will tell you the best thing to always do is to save your natural tooth if at all possible. The longer you can keep your natural teeth in and healthy, the healthier your entire body will be. Don’t be afraid of endodontics in Pasadena. We are here to help and serve you.
