Signs You May Need a Root Canal

The term "root canal" is one that nobody likes to hear. But it's time to eliminate the stigma around the procedure. Dr. Charles Sours, assures that his Woodbridge, VA, patients feel calm before, during, and after treatment because living in pain is much worse than finding relief. If you suffer from severe dental decay, cracked or broken teeth, chances are eating and drinking is no comfortable task. A root canal can restore your bite, confidence, self-esteem, and make you forget about mouth pain entirely. Give us a call to get started today.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If you exhibit intense pain that could wake you up from sleep or extreme discomfort when consuming hot or cold food and beverages, these are often the first signs of needing a root canal. You might also require this procedure if a tooth is broken or cracked from injury or to remove inflamed, infected, or dead pulp that results from an untreated cavity. Candidates for root canal therapy sometimes experience no symptoms, which is why a consultation with our dentist in our Woodbridge, VA, office is vital for proper diagnosis and treatment. There, Dr. Sours will examine the teeth and gums with dental x-rays and a physical examination.

If there's any indication you may need a root canal, don't put off treatment. As fearful as it might seem, this procedure has a high success rate and often gets recommended as an alternative to tooth extraction. If you have questions or concerns, our dentist can address them during a consultation. For more information about other services provided by Dr. Charles Sours, visit our website.
