The team at Jacksonville Smile Center now offers root canal treatment. When a tooth experiences decay or infection, it can penetrate to the nerve of the tooth. This will cause damage to the nerve which must be surgically repaired. Those suffering from an infection of the tooth pulp and root usually experience severe pain. Root canal treatment is performed to remove the nerve and infected pulp inside the tooth. If the pulp and nerve are not removed bacteria will grow and can form an abscessed tooth. This can lead to far more serious medical issues. Once the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, it is sealed to prevent future infection.

Before root canal treatment, it is highly likely the patient will experience severe toothache pain, especially when chewing. There can also be sensitivity and discoloration of the tooth. These are common signs that there is an infection and that the patient should see a dentist.

While root canal treatment has the reputation for being painful, this group ensures that it will cause no more discomfort than a routine filling. The team works tirelessly to ensure each patient is comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. Root canals are usually performed under local anesthesia to ensure the patient is relaxed and feels nothing.

Along with offering local anesthesia, JSC can also provide sedation dentistry as seen at http://www.jacksonvillesmilecenter.com/implants.html when applicable. Along with offering root canal treatment for anterior and premolar teeth, the team also provides cosmetic dentistry as seen at http://www.jacksonvillesmilecenter.com/ .
