complete denture is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking 4 to 6 weeks.&nbsp; During this time the patient will go without teeth.&nbsp; Interim

the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection.\u00a0 In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth) is removed and the resulting space is filled with special dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.<br \/><br \/>Having a root canal done on a tooth is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would die and have to be removed.\u00a0 Many patients believe that removing a tooth that has problems is the solution, but what is not realized is that extracting (pulling) a tooth will ultimately be more costly and cause significant problems for adjacent teeth.<br \/><br \/>Root canal treatment is highly successful and usually lasts a lifetime, although on occasion, a tooth will have to be retreated due to new infections.<br \/><br \/><strong>Signs and symptoms for possible root canal therapy:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>An abscess (or pimple) on the gums<\/li><li>Sensitivity to hot and cold<\/li><li>Severe

dentistry is ideal for patients who have a low pain threshold, cannot sit still in a dentist\u2019s chair, have very sensitive teeth, or have a bad gag relax.\u00a0 For more information on sedation
