Deep Infection Is the Root Cause
Individually, the symptoms described above might indicate a passing, minor tooth issue. However, if you experience several of them at once you probably have a deeper problem that requires more complex treatment. The best way to find out is to come to the professionals at Advanced Dentistry of Mohegan Lake. We successfully diagnose and treat root canal symptoms in Mohegan Lake and Tarrytown, NY every day. If anyone can save your tooth from extraction with a root canal, we can.
The term root canals sometimes causes confusion because it has multiple meanings. Let us clear it up for you. Root canals are slender channels in your tooth roots where the nerves and blood vessels are located. A root canal is also the name of the treatment we perform when this area becomes infected. Sometimes tooth decay can be fixed with a simple filling. But when the infection reaches the living tissue in the roots the tooth is compromised and requires more intensive treatment. Fortunately, our extensively trained team has the technology to make the procedure both more effective and easier on you.
