Root canal therapy alleviates not only tooth pain but also tissue infection. This video explains why seeing a dentist near Schaumburg for an infected tooth is so important.
When a tooth has an infection, it cannot expand to accommodate the growing bacteria inside it, which is why sufferers feel pain. The longer this infection persists, the more damage it can do to the tooth and bone surrounding it. A dentist performs a root canal to remove the infection and the potentially destructive pressure that it creates. As a result, after root canal therapy, patients often feel little to no pain when leaving the dental office. Their discomfort is gone, but equally important, their teeth are no longer vulnerable to the damaging effects of an infection.
