When Is The Right Time To Visit An Endodontist?

August 24, 2023

Tooth pain comes in many forms, and it’s not always easy to diagnose the cause. Perhaps you are experiencing a sharp pain when biting down or chewing. Or a continuous throbbing. Sensitivity to hot and/or cold foods and beverages. Swelling around your teeth and gums. Whatever the cause, you just want it to stop — quickly! It’s time to visit our endodontist at Concho Valley Endodontics. Our endodontist specializes in getting to the root of many types of oral discomfort and providing safe, effective, long term relief.

If you’ve been referred by your dentist, it’s because of the years of additional training we’ve received in pain relief. You might find it interesting to learn that less than three percent of all dentists are endodontists, making us the premier experts in tooth-saving pain relief! One certainty is that tooth pain rarely resolves on its own, and using medication is only delaying the inevitable. Taking prompt action can save money, time and discomfort later!

If we diagnose the source of your pain as coming from a cracked tooth, an infection, a deep cavity or a condition resulting from a filling, we may recommend a root canal procedure to relieve the pain and preserve the tooth or teeth. Forget what you may have heard in years past: This treatment has become more comfortable, quicker and even more effective, thanks to advances in anesthesia and technology. It’s no more bothersome than having a cavity filled!

What we do during this treatment is remove infected pulp and nerves down in the root of the tooth, clean the area and seal the space. Ultimately you’ll have a crown placed on the tooth for protection, and then you’ll look forward to enjoying the feel and function of that original tooth!

If you’re experiencing tooth pain that’s not resolving on its own, don’t hesitate to consult our endodontist at Concho Valley Endodontics. Please contact us today for an appointment.
