A painful tooth can really stop you in your tracks. But sometimes, people hold off in talking with their provider about what they are experiencing, hoping that the situation will resolve itself on its own. This may happen in some instances, such as if a piece of food (we’re looking at you, popcorn) becomes stuck between the gums and the enamel, but in other cases, tooth pain is a sign of something more. Your dentist can help you to understand what is going on with your smile, and if it is a result of an internal tooth infection, then it is time to talk about treatment.
With our team of trusted dental professionals at Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, you have the opportunity to stop that nagging toothache due to bacterial infection. This can happen when your natural enamel is damaged due to injury or tooth decay, and if left untreated, bacteria can continue to spread to the bone tissue of the jaw or potentially even into the bloodstream. Root canal treatment procedures are commonly used by oral health teams to remove infected tissue, sealing the connections to the jaw shut to protect against future reinfection.
