Endodontic Treatment Through Prairie Lakes Family Dentistry
Serving Endodontic Patients in Tracy, Minnesota
Endodontic treatment at Prairie Lakes Family Dentistry is designed to relieve dental pain and save your teeth. During root canal treatment, Dr. Heezen will carefully remove the pulp inside of a tooth, clean, disinfect, and shape the root canal, then place a filling to seal the space. It’s a simple procedure that will relieve tooth pain caused by infection. Here at Prairie Lakes Family Dentistry, we look forward to serving endodontic patients from Tracy, Balaton, and Walnut Grove, Minnesota, as well as the surrounding area. For particularly complex cases, we may refer patients to a specialist.
What Are the Symptoms of an Infected Tooth?
When the root of a tooth becomes badly infected, it causes extreme pain. You’ll notice the pain when you bite down or chew. You may also have a painful sensation when you drink hot or cold liquids, which can linger for a time. Some patients in need of endodontic treatment have small, pimple-like bumps on their gums when they come in for their consultation. These are all common signs of a tooth with an infected root.
