Are you trying to avoid a root canal?

An abscessed tooth can be painful and a root canal is the only way to save it. However, a root canal is something many people put off because of fear since the procedure is almost always associated with pain. Eventually, though, you will have to go to the dentist.

If you feel anxious about the procedure, you can ask your local Portland Maine dentist about sedation dentistry. To help patients lower their anxiety, dentists use conscious sedation methods. One method is anxiolysis or oral sedation, which makes patients relax during the root canal procedure.

Is your tooth getting painful? This may mean that the decay of your tooth has advanced. Stop putting off your dental visit and schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentists
