Your teeth are one of the most important parts of your body, as they allow you to show expression and eat all of your favorite foods. Unfortunately, bad oral hygiene can lead to dental issues that can damage the integrity of your teeth. Any type of crack or cavity in the tooth makes room for harmful bacteria to move in. Without proper treatment, infection can set in and spread, causing damage to the surrounding healthy teeth and gums.

While the idea of having an infection is scary, root canal therapy can help to restore the integrity of your smile. Luckily, the professionals at Carmel Commons Dental have all of the proper knowledge and tools to provide root canal treatments. If you’re dealing with dental issues but aren’t sure if you need a root canal, browse the following section to learn some of the signs of an infected tooth.

If you’re dealing with any of these issues, you may require root canal therapy. While the process may sound scary, our team will do their best to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the entire appointment. Before any type of treatment begins, we will take an X-ray to get a better look at the affected tooth. Our dentist may also perform other tests to determine if your tooth pulp is dead, infected, or inflamed to determine if root canal therapy is necessary.
