When nerves of teeth are injured by infection or trauma, deep pain may come and go or become chronic in a tooth.

If you live in Jacksonville, FL, the experts at Beacon Family Dentistry can help you with any dental concern. If you are feeling pain in a tooth, schedule a visit to see our dentist, Dr. Lysandro Tapnio, to evaluate your needs. He expedites diagnosis and treatment for patients who are in dental pain. He also will not recommend treatment you do not need.

The sooner you come to see us, the sooner your discomfort will be ended and the more you increase the opportunity for treatment to be as conservative as possible. If the pain you feel is because tooth roots are infected or damaged, then removal of the roots, cleansing of the root canals, and filling of the root canals will be necessary to eliminate pain and preserve the tooth.

When Dr. Tapnio recommends root canal therapy followed by a crown, it is because he knows it will restore full comfort, functional strength, and beautiful appearance to the tooth.

If a tooth has become too weak to support a crown, due to decay, a previous large filling, or significant cracks, the tooth may need to be removed. In this case, root canal treatment will not be performed, and Dr. Tapnio will offer options for replacing the tooth with a dental bridge or implant after he has removed the tooth while you are fully numb.

Root canal treatment and dental extractions are not as uncomfortable as patients fear. Once you are numb with local anesthetic, you will feel pressure as the procedure is performed but no pain. Dr. Lysandro has years of experience compassionately and gently treating patients. In fact, this is something, he is well known for. Dr. Tapnio will quickly and kindly attend to your needs, end your discomfort, and put you on the road to health.

Let us treat you like family!
