Root Canal Vs Implant In the past, dentists and oral surgeons often referred to a tooth with root canal treatment as \u201cdead.\u201d Today, experts know that a tooth with a root canal is not dead but diseased. The good news is that today\u2019s dentists and oral surgeons are much more likely to recommend treatment than before. If you have been in pain or have found it difficult to chew for several weeks, you may be experiencing symptoms of infected roots \u2014 or dental roots as they are often referred to. The infection could either be bacterial or due to the pulp becoming exposed. This article will discuss the differences between getting a root canal versus a dental implant so that you can make an informed decision when seeking treatment in the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Root canal treatment<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Root canal treatment<\/a> is used to address a tooth that is severely decayed or broken. However, if you have a toothache, you may be wondering, \u201cDo I have a root canal infection?\u201d If you experience pain in your tooth that doesn\u2019t seem to stop, you may have a root canal infection. The most common symptoms of a root canal infection are pain, pain that isn\u2019t controlled by painkillers, sensitivity to heat or cold in the tooth, swelling in the jaw near the infected tooth, and tenderness when chewing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Both a bacterial infection and pulp exposure can cause the same symptoms, so it can be difficult to determine which infection you\u2019re experiencing. If you\u2019re not sure what the cause of your pain is, schedule an appointment with your dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dental Implant<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A dental <\/a>implant is a medical device placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. Missing teeth can negatively affect your oral health and your overall quality of life. By replacing lost teeth, dental implants prevent you from losing other teeth and keep your mouth healthy. While dental implants may be your preferred treatment option, they are not the same as a root canal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
