Signs to look for include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, discoloration of the tooth, swelling, and tenderness in the lymph nodes as well as nearby bone and gingival tissues. Sometimes, however, there are no symptoms.
The pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. It lies within the tooth and extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the root in the bone of the jaws.
When the pulp is diseased or injured and can't repair itself, it dies. The most common cause of pulp death is a cracked tooth or a deep cavity. Both of these problems can let germs (bacteria) enter the pulp. Germs can cause an infection inside the tooth. Left without treatment, pus builds up at the root tip, in the jawbone, forming a "pus-pocket" called an abscess. An abscess can cause damage to the bone around the teeth.
When the infected pulp is not removed, pain and swelling can result. Certain by-products of the infection can injure your jawbones. Without treatment, your tooth may have to be removed.
Treatment often takes one to three visits. To save the tooth, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed from the root canal by careful cleaning and shaping of the canal. The canals are then sealed completely to prevent re-infection. After this treatment, a crown or other restoration is placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.
You should not chew or bite on the treated tooth until you have had it restored by us. The unrestored tooth is susceptible to fracture, so you should book your next appointment for a full restoration as soon as possible. In the meantime, you need only practice good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups and cleanings.
New trauma, deep decay, or a loose, cracked or broken filling can cause new infection in your tooth. In some cases, the endodontist may discover additional very narrow or curved canals that could not be treated during the initial procedure.
Most teeth can be treated. Occasionally, a tooth can't be saved because the root canals are not accessible, the root is severely fractured, the tooth doesn't have adequate bone support, or the tooth cannot be restored. However, advances in endodontics are making it possible to save teeth that even a few years ago would have been lost. When endodontic treatment is not effective, endodontic surgery may be able to save the tooth.
Your gums and lips are protected with barrier materials and a 'before' picture is taken. The whitening gel is applied on your teeth, and the blue light activates it. You relax. After three 20-minute cycles (just over an hour), the procedure is completed and an 'after' picture is taken. You rinse. You smile. Wow!
Clinical studies show that in-surgery whitening procedures deliver up to eight shades lighter and even higher for individuals with darker teeth. Results will vary as the starting points may be different and everyone's teeth respond differently. During the consultation, we will go over what you can expect for your individual situation.
