Stop Tooth Pain Fast with Root Canal Therapy in Midwest City, OK

Persistent tooth pain can greatly impact your daily life, distracting you at work or school and interfering with your normal activities. Severe pain in one or more teeth is often a sign of a root canal infection. This occurs when bacteria gain access to the sensitive inner chambers of your tooth’s root where nerves and blood vessels reside. Fortunately, Dr. Steven Kendrick and his team at Midwest Dental Center provide patients in Midwest City, OK with a full menu of restorative dentistry solutions, including root canal therapy.

Do I Need a Root Canal Treatment?

Only a thorough exam – including digital x-rays – can definitively determine the need for root canal therapy. There are, however, some telltale signs that you can watch out for at home between visits to our office. These include:

• Sensitivity to hot or cold
• Darkening of the tooth
• A recurring pimple on the gum tissue near the affected tooth
• Pain when chewing or when the tooth is tapped
• A throbbing or aching sensation that may grow worse during strenuous activity

If a root canal infection is the cause of your symptoms, Dr. Kendrick and our team will develop a unique treatment plan designed to meet your needs and alleviate your pain. We want you to feel comfortable and informed when it comes to any treatment options we recommend.
