Root Canals Give Your Teeth a Second Chance

Learning that you may need a root canal is not the most welcoming news, but if you’re still a candidate for this procedure it’s actually a root canalgood thing. For some patients, the only option is extraction, and that comes with its own set of problems. If you’re eligible for a root canal, it means that you have a chance to give your tooth a second chance. Talk to a dentist at Fatemi Family Dentistry in Lexington Park and Gaithersburg, MD.

Myths About Root Canals
Some people associate root canals with dental pain when in truth this treatment is key to pain relief. Removing the damaged and infected tissue will eliminate the painful sensation, throbbing, and swelling you may be experiencing. You may imagine spending hours in the dentist’s chair for a root canal, but that’s not the case. It's possible to be in and out of the dentist’s office in about an hour. You’ll also be sedated, so there’s no need for the anxiety of feeling discomfort during the procedure.

How Root Canals Help
A root canal helps you by allowing you to avoid unnecessary tooth loss or extraction. The tooth remains stabilized in the jaw, even though the nerves and pulp have been removed. After the tooth is disinfected and filled with a protective material, your Lexington Park and Gaithersburg dentist then reinforces it with a durable dental crown. That crown will safeguard your treated tooth for up to 15 years and can be replaced as needed.

Your Tooth Deserves a Second Chance
It may be tempting to skip root canal treatment and just have a tooth extracted, but there are several reasons why that isn’t the best idea. An open socket attracts food particles and could make the oral cavity more susceptible to gum disease. Other teeth could shift and become misaligned due to the open space. Having an extracted tooth replaced can be costly, so if there’s a way to give your tooth a second chance with a root canal, you should go for it.

Reestablish Your Smile Health
A root canal treatment, especially in the early stages of tooth decay, can return your smile to good health. Set aside your anxious thoughts and make the call to Fatemi Family Dentistry. Call (301) 737-4747 for Lexington Park, or (301) 740-2686 for Gaithersburg today for a dentist appointment with Dr. Ali Fatemi.
