Patients in Marietta, GA ask, "Can you provide a solution for a dying tooth?"
Trauma or decay can lead to a tooth infection, which may be identified by a painful or throbbing toothache. The pain often prompts patients to seek the gentle care of Drs. Lan Vo and Sean Breckley at 32 Dental in Kennesaw, GA. They are happy to explain the cause of tooth infections as well as treatment available.
The pulp chamber of the tooth contains nerves, blood vessels, and other tissues. When the dental pulp dies, the body reacts with an inflammatory response. This can result in a painful toothache. Patients in Marietta and beyond often characterize the affected tooth as a "dying tooth." They may express their concerns, discuss their symptoms, and then ask, "Can you provide a solution?" Our team will gladly reply, "Yes."
Typically, the ideal solution for a tooth infection is a root canal. Although root canals have developed a bad reputation over the years for being painful, the truth is they can relieve pain caused from toothaches. Thanks to advances in dentistry, sedation can provide the additional comfort needed during the procedure to ensure it is a comfortable and painless experience. We can provide sedatives such as nitrous oxide or "laughing gas" to ease anxiety. This sedative provides a moderate level of relaxation; however, patients are conscious and alert throughout the procedure. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, allowing patients to drive home after the procedure.
As patients learn about our techniques to ensure comfortable treatments, they often want to learn more about root canals. We can explain. For the procedure, we will numb the tooth and surrounding areas, and when needed, administer another sedative. Then, we install a rubber dam to isolate the tooth. After accessing the pulp chamber, we will clean and disinfect the canal followed by placing a filling material to seal the canal and protect it from becoming infected. For additional tooth protection, we will place a porcelain crown on top of the tooth.
One of the primary benefits of root canal therapy is we can often save the natural tooth. Do you want to learn more about the benefits of root canals? We would love to highlight them during a consultation appointment. Call (770) 423-1132 to schedule yours today.

Dr. Vo and Dr. Breckly are absolutely fantastic! Never worry about another painful trip to the dentist if you are going to see them. They make sure you are never in any pain throughout the entire procedure. I just had my wisdom teeth removed and Dr. Vo did a fabulous job, as always. I had four impacted wisdom teeth and they were out before I knew it. I was up and eating solid food the very same day, and could have been back at work if I needed to. My stitches fell out within a few days and everything healed up much faster than any of my friends who saw other doctors. I stayed awake for the procedure, and I would say that it definitely is much better than being put to sleep. It has a faster heal time and less discomfort. My face honestly didn't even swell. I've gone to Dr. Vo and Breckly for minor things before and they have always been amazing, but after my great experience with something more major, I know they are by far the two of the best dentists, I have ever seen. -
Dr. Vo and Dr. Berkley are the ONLY dentists we see. Dr. Vos taken care of my parents, my husband, our daughter and son, and myself for the past 7 years. We love the care and the personal relationship she establishes with her patients. She takes the time to get to know us, our families, our dental concerns, which is NOT the usual in the business.Thank you for everything. Dr. Berkley is very attentive and gently with my children. We came in for a cleaning yesterday and they did great under his medical care. The staff is extremely professional and willing to help. Amazing team. If you have been afraid of the dentist, check them out and theyll change your mind about dentistry.

My family and I love Dr. Vo. I would suggest this practice to anyone who wants a dentist and staff that truly care about your health and will go above and beyond the typical dentist. I followed Dr. Vo from a previous office, and although this office is farther away, it is worth it because of how caring the staff is.

Switched to 32 dental after Dr. Breckley left Dr. Goetees practice. Great staff, and nice space. They use the latest technologies and have K cups in the waiting room!

Dr. Vo is fantastic. She is patient, knowledgeable, and excellent at her job, and most importantly, she takes time to answer your questions and explain any concerns she has about your teeth, so you really know what\'s going on. It inspires me to take better care of my teeth. By far, she is the best dentist I have been been to, and I highly recommend her. No more of those dime-a-dozen dentists for me!
