Information about Root Canals<\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

If you are experiencing tooth pain, your teeth are sensitive to hot or cold, or your gums are inflamed and swollen, you may need a dental procedure known as\u00a0<\/span>Root Canal Therapy<\/span>. If you have a deep cavity, it can cause major damage to your tooth. Also, if you have a crack in your tooth, it may result in an infection. If the infection reaches the nerves of the tooth, it can cause severe pain. Getting a root canal helps relieve pain and treat the tooth that has become infected. A root canal may be the best option for you if saving your tooth is your goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To many people, hearing\u00a0<\/span>“root canal”<\/span>\u00a0can be <\/span>pretty<\/span>\u00a0intimidating<\/span>.\u00a0However, here at\u00a0<\/span>Sweet Water Dentistry<\/span><\/a> in Fairhope, AL, we strive to make sure that every patient is as relaxed and comfortable as possible during the procedure. In the past, root canals took a long time and required a lot of dental appointments. Because of the technological advances in dentistry, most root canals can be completed within a short amount of time. \u00a0During a root canal, Dr. Phillip Greer removes the infected nerves, cleans the tooth <\/span>canals,<\/span> and then seals each canal. Once the root canal is completed, the tooth and area around it\u00a0will be scanned and then a <\/span>brand new<\/span> porcelain\u00a0crown will be made in-house. Making the crown takes about one hour.\u00a0Once the crown is made, it will then be cemented onto your tooth. This can typically all occur within the same day!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
