Root Canal Treatment Worcester
Tooth Pain? Let Us Help
It’s only right to see cavities as bad. After all, these holes in your teeth weaken your grin, cause pain, and distort your looks. Such decay can also lead to a more severe problem; it may allow microbes to reach the tooth’s pulp and cause an infection, putting you at risk of losing said tooth. To help, our team at Burncoat Family Dental can provide you with root canal treatment in Worcester. Please learn more by reading below or by booking a consultation.

Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
During your biannual exams, we review your latest X-rays, learn about any symptoms you’re experiencing, and look at each tooth. That way, we can catch oral health problems, like cavities, as early as possible. Between visits, it’s important to keep an eye out for indicators of a badly decayed or infected tooth, like:
- A sharp, stabbing pain when biting down
- Persistent dental sensitivity
- Dark discoloration on the tooth
- Red, inflamed, or bleeding gums
If you start to experience these or any other warning signs of trouble, then call us ASAP to schedule an exam at our Worcester office.
The Root Canal Process
The standard root canal occurs over one to two dental visits. At the first one, our in-house endodontist, Dr. Monaf Alyassi, will numb your mouth before using special tools to reach a tooth’s inner chambers. Then, he will remove the infected pulp.
At the follow-up visit, we’ll sanitize the space and apply a resin filling. The final step is sealing the tooth and placing a dental crown over it. When it’s set, this crown will look and feel extremely natural as well as protect your pearly white from further decay.
The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
Oftentimes, patients panic when they hear they need a root canal. The truth is that this emergency dentistry treatment is actually good news: it means your tooth can be saved. Not only does this prevent you from going through a more extensive healing period, but it also means you won’t have to pay for a replacement tooth. Plus, thanks to the lifelike restorations we use today, no unwanted attention will be drawn to your smile moving forward!
