Sensitivity to heat that lingers after the cup is gone, pain that arrives at night rather than during the day, or a single tooth that has quietly gone grey are all signs the nerve inside is inflamed or infected. That tooth is usually still saveable, but the window narrows the longer it waits, because an infected nerve spreads into the bone around the root.
At Bluewater Dental, our Palm Beach Gardens team clears the infection, seals the canal, and restores the tooth so you keep the one you already have. Where the nerve is inflamed but not yet infected, pulp capping is sometimes an option. Treated teeth almost always need a crown afterward, and if a tooth cannot be kept we say so and talk through removal.
Dr. Calvin Kaler leads our Palm Beach Gardens office on Burns Road, where current technique and proper anesthesia make this an unremarkable appointment.
