Those who have trouble with nervous tension, anger, frustration, or pain are some of those who suffer from it. The other personality type that tends to deal with bruxism is those who are overly competitive, aggressive, or always in a hurry. Finding relief from teeth clenching can take some time with counseling and medication, among other things. A dentist dealing with a patient who clenches their teeth looks for an immediate answer that saves the teeth. That answer is a nightguard.
Root canals may leave a patient with some pain after the local anesthetics wear off but it's nothing like the pain of an infected tooth. You should feel fine over a couple of days. The dentist may prescribe an antibiotic and a pain reliever. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers.
A root canal keeps your smile with the same natural appearance, protects other teeth, and allows you to bite and chew normally. Those experiencing pain should call to schedule an exam. Don't wait until the pain is so bad you need an emergency visit. Call for an appointment today!
