Symptoms of infection include visible injury or swelling, sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the tooth and gums.

We then clean the canals with a disinfecting solution.

Our team will custom fit your night guard to ensure your comfort and safety. Night guards can protect your teeth from wear, gum irritation, enamel damage, and jaw pain. At your appointment, we will discuss other ways to help reduce or eliminate night grinding. This may include avoiding chewing gum, alcohol, and caffeine, as these increase the risks of grinding.

However, other teeth may also require extraction if they cannot be saved by root canal therapy or other treatment. Our doctors may recommend extraction of one or more of your teeth if any of these issues apply to you. During your consultation, we may also recommend sedation dentistry to make your experience more comfortable.
