The worst toothaches are usually the result of a tooth developing an infection below the enamel, where the sensitive nerve resides. We can stop this pain and save the tooth with root canal therapy, which despite what you may have seen in movies and on TV, is not a terribly uncomfortable procedure. It’s actually one of the best ways we can provide relief from dental pain, so if you have a throbbing tooth that only seems to be getting worse, it might be exactly what you need. To get the care you deserve right away, contact us today for root canal therapy in Phoenix, AZ.
Children as well as adults can develop interior tooth infections, and while adults can benefit from root canal therapy in this situation, we recommend pulp therapy for children. With root canal therapy, all of the tissue inside a tooth is removed to stop the infection, but with pulp therapy, any healthy tissue is left in place. This enables the tooth to continue functioning normally, allowing a child’s mouth to develop without any issues.
