If your dentist has just informed you that you need a root canal, your first instinct is probably not to jump for joy. But while it’s safe to say most people don’t look forward to dental procedures, getting a root canal is actually good news, not bad! Here are a few reasons you can be glad you’ve been prescribed one of these tooth-saving treatments!
It Saves Your Teeth
One of the best benefits of a root canal is that you won’t need to have your tooth pulled to treat any damage. In fact, if it’s needed to stop an infection, your treatment will also stop this from spreading to your other, healthy teeth. Thus, you won’t just save one tooth, but potentially many!
Your Pain Will Go Away
The worst thing about a tooth infection is arguably the pain it causes. The great news is that with a root canal, your dentist will clear out the infected pulp and seal the tooth back up, so any pain caused by the bacteria in your mouth will go away. Once your tooth is healed, you should be able to enjoy using it again without any discomfort!
You Won’t Need to Replace Your Teeth
When your dentist can keep your natural teeth in place after a root canal, you won’t need to worry about costly replacement solutions like bridges or dental implants. Thus, your root canal will not only save your teeth, but it will also save you time and money, too!
You Can Keep More of Your Natural Smile and Bite
Finally, though dental restorations are very durable and natural looking, there’s nothing as good as your real teeth. With a root canal, you’ll be able to keep your natural smile and bite, so you won’t need to worry about anything looking or feeling out of place or uncomfortable!
Remember, a root canal may initially seem like a bad thing, but if you consider its many benefits, you’ll easily see why this treatment is great news for you and your smile!
