Do you have a persistent toothache that just won't go away? Ignoring severe tooth pain can lead to deeper infections, but a routine procedure can save your smile.
At Novi Family Dentistry in Novi, Michigan, Abir Faraj, DDS, helps patients protect their natural teeth and find relief from dental discomfort.
When a tooth becomes severely decayed or infected, root canal therapy is often the best way to prevent extraction. According to patient‑satisfaction data cited by the American Association of Endodontists, 71% of adult patients are glad they chose this therapy over having their tooth extracted.
If you're experiencing dental pain, our team is here to help you understand your options.
Recognizing the early warning signs of a tooth infection can help you seek care before the damage worsens. The Cleveland Clinic notes several common symptoms that indicate you may need a root canal:
Many people worry that root canals are highly painful, but modern dental advances have changed the experience.
The Mayo Clinic explains that most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure thanks to local anesthetics. It's actually much more painful to live with the untreated decay.
During the procedure, Dr. Faraj gently removes the infected tissue from inside your tooth, cleans the area, and seals it to prevent future infection. After treatment, we often place custom crowns over your treated teeth to restore strength and natural appearance.
If you experience sudden, severe pain, we also offer emergency dentistry to provide fast relief.
You don't have to live with constant dental pain or worry about losing a tooth. Taking action early is the best way to keep your smile healthy and pain-free.
