in Plano
Reliable endodontic care for
a stronger, pain-free smile
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and injuries affecting the inside of the tooth, particularly the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). The most common procedure performed by our endodontists in Plano, is root canal therapy, which is used to treat infections or damage to the pulp caused by deep cavities, trauma, or other dental conditions.
What are the symptoms of an infection in the dental pulp?
An infection in the dental pulp, often caused by deep decay, trauma, or cracks in the tooth, can lead to a variety of symptoms which alert us about the need for endodontics.
1
Swelling around the tooth
Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth can occur, often accompanied by redness.
2
Pimple-like bump on the gums
A pimple-like bump, known as a fistula, may develop on the gums near the infected tooth. This is a result of pus drainage from the infection.
3
Sensitivity to temperature
Sensitivity to hot or cold food and drinks. The pain may linger even after the stimulus is removed, which is a strong indication of an infection.
4
Discoloration of the tooth
The affected tooth may appear darker or discolored due to the death of the pulp or the infection spreading within the tooth.
5
Pain when touching the tooth
Pain or discomfort when the tooth is touched or when pressure is applied, such as when chewing or biting down.
6
Severe tooth pain
The most common symptom is intense, persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or touching the tooth.
If you experience any of these symptoms, contact us to book an appointment with our endodontists in Plano as soon as possible to prevent the infection from spreading or worsening.
