Tooth pain is a common problem that can be extremely painful and disruptive. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including cavities, gum disease, and cracked teeth. Traditional remedies, such as over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs, can provide temporary relief, but they do not address the underlying cause of the pain.
Fortunately, there is a permanent solution to tooth pain: killing the tooth nerve.
This procedure is known as a root canal, and it involves removing the infected or damaged nerve from the tooth. Once the nerve is removed, the tooth is no longer capable of sending pain signals to the brain, and the pain will be gone.
Root canals are a safe and effective procedure, and they are the only way to permanently eliminate tooth pain.
A root canal is performed by a dentist or endodontist, a specialist in root canal therapy. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and it is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain.
During the procedure, the dentist will make a small hole in the tooth and remove the infected or damaged nerve. The dentist will then clean and shape the inside of the tooth and fill it with a special material called gutta-percha. The dentist will then seal the tooth with a filling or a crown.
