Lansdowne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/16/2014 -- When an accident occurs—such as taking a fist to the jaw or falling face first on a hard service—or the teeth are improperly cared for, a tooth can become irritated. This irritation can lead to sensitivity and tooth pain when eating certain foods. The most common cause of this pain is that the pulp tissue has weakened, and damage has been caused to the pulpal nerve inside the tooth. To restore the tooth and get the proper function and feel back while eating, The Family Dental Center in Lansdowne is announcing they are offering root canal therapy to their patients this winter.

There are many signs that can lead an individual toward the need of root canal therapy, including the presence of an abscess on the gums, swelling around the tooth, infections at the tip of the root, as well as severe sensitivity and toothaches. When in need of a dentist in Lansdowne for a root canal therapy, The Family Dental Center in Lansdowne will save the damaged tooth by implementing medicated materials into the tissue and nerves.

The professional dentist near Drexel Hill will remove the crown of the tooth, which enables access to operate inside the pulpal area and allows the dentist to effectively remove the bacteria or affected area inside the tissue. The procedure spans over multiple visits, and the tooth will be sealed with a permanent filling. Once the procedure is completed, root canal therapy allows the tooth to regain its full function and can stay that way for a lifetime if properly treated. A follow up appointment may be necessary to ensure other infections have not arisen within the treated area.

With an effective root canal procedure, patients will be able to chew and eat without pain and sensitivity. When the inflammation subsides, patients will feel more confident in the way their teeth perform. If in need of a root canal, or other restoration and cosmetic procedures, please reach out to The Family Dental Center at 610-626-4600 or visit their website today.
