A toothache is one of the worst types of pain you can experience. If the pain is also accompanied by swelling, it can be a serious sign of infection. Fortunately, an infected tooth can be treated effectively with root canal therapy to bring you the pain relief you need. In most cases, root canal treatment may be needed if the toothache is caused by a deep cavity, an infection, or injury to the nerve inside the tooth.
Root canals have gotten a bad reputation and may sound intimidating. But with the advancements in technology and minimally invasive techniques, the experience is comparable to getting a new filling. Root canals allow the tooth to be restored back to health and avoid the alternative treatment which is extracting the tooth.
