Phoenix Root Canal from Paradise Ridge

Phoenix root canal therapy becomes necessary when the inner nerve of a tooth becomes affected by decay or infection. When this happens, the tooth may become extremely sensitive to both pressure and temperature, and intense pain can be expected. In the initial stages of decay and infection, it is possible that no symptoms would be present. However, in the advanced stages of decay and infection an abscess (pimple-like inflammation on the gums) will form.

Getting a Root Canal Phoenix Can Alleviate Pain

When confronting this type of decay or infection, the patient has two options: pull the affected tooth or save the tooth through Phoenix root canal therapy. When extracting a decayed or infected tooth, significant and costly dental problems will arise for adjacent teeth. In the end, tooth extraction may cause more problems than it will solve. One problem that can occur is when a tooth is pulled toward the back of the mouth (premolars or molars), the tooth next to the extracted tooth will slowly lean forward over time. Now imagine a picture of the leaning tower of Pisa and that is what can happen to a tooth next to an extracted tooth. It can slowly lean over into the space left behind by the missing tooth. Root canal therapy is a much more desirable alternative, as it will provide full functionality to the tooth and mouth, and will not cause any future problems with adjacent teeth.

The reasons a dentist will recommend root canal Phoenix therapy include the following:

• Decay has reached the tooth pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth)
• Development of infection or abscess inside the tooth or at the root tip
• Trauma or injury to the tooth
