Our endodontist at Concho Valley Endodontics is accustomed to dealing with sensitive issues. Tooth sensitivity issues, to be precise. When that first sip of your morning coffee, or a spoonful of your favorite ice cream, elicits a painful reaction, your teeth are trying to tell you something. Our practice is all about getting to the root of what’s causing that sensitivity, and delivering treatment that not only banishes your pain, but preserves that precious tooth for years to come.
There are myriad reasons for a painful tooth or teeth, some more obvious than others. A cavity, chipped tooth, or a worn filling may be the culprit. However, in other instances the problem may be lurking down below the surface of the tooth, where soft tissue that contains sensitive nerves and blood vessels are located. That’s where our orthodontist comes in. Our very specialty derives its name from the Greek language, roughly meaning “inside the tooth.”
We specialize in highly effective, long-lasting root canal treatment, which has become more efficient and more comfortable than in years past. In fact, a root canal procedure produces no more discomfort than having a filling placed in a tooth. It’s no wonder some 15 million teeth are saved every year by this method, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. As is so often the case, the sooner a tooth sensitivity issue is addressed, the less complex it will be to remedy. Delay can lead to an infection or an abscess.
Although our first reaction to tooth pain may be to want that tooth extracted, hold on just a moment! Don’t forget that nothing looks, feels and functions like a real tooth. There’s simply no replacement for the original equipment when it comes to our teeth. If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity or pain, please contact our orthodontist at Concho Valley Endodontics for an appointment today!
