Have you ever heard the words “root canal” and immediately winced, thinking, “I don’t want to be in more pain”? Well, it’s time to change that story. At My Milpitas Dentist, we turn what used to be dreaded into something surprisingly smooth. Our gentle, modern approach to root canal therapy in Milpitas, CA, can save your natural tooth. Root canals can also stop infection in its tracks and have you back to chewing, laughing, and living pain-free before you know it.
Root Canal vs. Tooth Extraction
Extracting your tooth might seem like an easier fix, but it often creates more problems than it solves. When you save your natural tooth with a root canal, you’re:
- Protecting your bite
- Preserving your jawbone
- Avoiding the need for expensive replacements later
Plus, nothing feels or functions quite like your own tooth. With today’s advanced techniques and local anesthesia, most patients say a root canal feels no worse than getting a filling. Seriously!
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal 
You might need a root canal if you experience:
- Persistent tooth pain or pressure
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness around the gums
- A dark or discolored tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gums
If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait. The sooner we treat the infection, the easier and more comfortable your recovery will be.
