You\u2019ve felt this sensation before, however it usually just happens once and goes away. This time is different though, every time you take a bite you\u2019re experiencing pain that lasts longer. The next thing you know your tooth wakes you up at night with a severe ache. These symptoms are the indicators of decay or an infection in your tooth, and your dentist in Northwest Dallas can help to preserve it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Causes an Infection in Your Tooth?<\/h2>\n<p>If your tooth is injured, fractured, or decay has reached the pulp, or nerve of your tooth, you will begin to feel pain. It often starts off as sensitivity to hot or cold foods or beverages, so don\u2019t ignore these signs. As it progresses the pain becomes more persistent and intense. If your tooth is infected, it\u2019s important to understand that the infection won\u2019t go away without treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>How is an Infected Tooth Treated?<\/h2>\n<p>Root canal therapy will remove the infected tissues of your tooth through a small access hole in the top. Once the infection is cleared out, Dr. Kwon will seal your tooth and allow it time to heal. Once the healing process is complete, he\u2019ll restore strength back to your tooth with a permanent filling or dental crown, which will also ensure longevity.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Root Canal Therapy Hurt?<\/h2>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalkwon.com\/root-canals.html\">Kwon Dental<\/a> your comfort is our top priority, and we take every measure to ensure that your root canal procedure is comfortable and efficient. Dr. Kwon is highly skilled and uses the best dental anesthetics to ensure that you don\u2019t feel anything during your treatment. In fact, anesthetics immediately relieve the pain of the infection right away, which helps you feel better.<\/p>\n<p>For patients with anxiety or fear about their treatment, Dr. Kwon, your dentist in 75229, can speak with you about options for dental sedation during your procedure. We\u2019ll always take the time to ensure that you feel at ease about your treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>When You Have a Toothache Contact Kwon Dental Right Away<\/h2>\n<p>If your tooth becomes compromised and begins to show signs of an infection, it\u2019s important to act quickly. An infection left untreated will not go away; rather it will spread and become worse.
