Tooth pain can be excruciating, and doing nothing about the pain will only make it worse. If you are suffering from an ongoing tooth ache, it is most likely because your tooth is infected. Left untreated, an infected tooth can wreak havoc on the rest of your smile, leaving you with a much more expensive and painful result down the road. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centraldentalnorwood.com\/\"><b>Central Dental Associates<\/b><\/a> understands the importance of making sure your smile is as health as it can be, which is why we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centraldentalnorwood.com\/root-canals.html\"><b>root canal therapy<\/b><\/a> to our patients!<\/p>\n<p>A <b>root canal<\/b> needs to be performed when the tooth\u2019s structure has been compromised. Perhaps due to a crack or a large cavity, the tooth\u2019s inner structure has become infected with bacteria, causing you much pain and discomfort. Other things that can cause the need for <b>root canal therapy<\/b> are deep restorations and dental trauma.<\/p>\n<p>We begin your <b>root canal<\/b> by focusing on the infected tooth and removing the harmful bacteria. The tooth\u2019s pulp is removed, and then the tooth is filled. After that, a crown is usually placed at the top, protecting the tooth from further harm. At the end, you feel relieved and alleviated of pain!<\/p>\n<p>If you are experiencing sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks, pain, swelling, throbbing, and a bad taste in your mouth, you may need a <b>root canal<\/b>. Make an appointment at our office, and we\u2019ll be glad to help!<\/p>\n<p>Visit our contemporary practice and learn why <b>Central Dental Associates<\/b> has been <b>Norwood\u2019s<\/b> premier choice for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centraldentalnorwood.com\/general-family-dentistry.html\">family and restorative dentistry<\/a> since 1965.
