Toothaches can be terribly inconvenient. They make it difficult to eat, speak, or even function. We realize that a common toothache is something most people can live with until it suddenly turns a corner and becomes unbearable. The key is to visit any one of our offices at that initial stage before you reach the point of severe discomfort. This will give you the largest amount of options for how to treat the problem.

Do you need a root canal? Not always. Sometimes we can treat the problem without needing to perform a root canal. For example, we can clean your teeth and remove any food particles causing discomfort. If you have a cavity, we can remove the decay and place a filling at our family dentist office. This is done quickly and is far less invasive than a root canal. Simultaneously, if your tooth is chipped or cracked, we can restore it using dental bonding or dental veneers. If you are dealing with erosion, you may need dental crowns to protect your teeth. We also restore teeth on a daily basis and have several ways of doing so.

We regularly ask patients about their pain and whether or not it is manageable. If it is only slight discomfort, you may be able to visit our Stamford dentist practice and have tooth decay removed. In many cases, a toothache is caused by a cavity that can be treated without the need for a root canal. However, we find that intense pain can often be due to an infection severe enough to warrant a root canal.

When patients call asking: “My tooth hurts, do I need a root canal?”, the second question they normally ask is what the process will be like.
We will answer any questions you may have during your examination and consultation. We can complete a root canal in a way that is as comfortable as possible. The reality is that a root canal does not have to hurt. In fact, by using sedation, we can help you feel calm and relaxed to the point that most of our patients say they feel much better after the treatment than they did before the treatment. The root canal removes the infection, which is the cause of the initial discomfort, to relieve the pain. When looking for a “dentist near me” to perform a root canal, be sure to visit one who offers sedation.
