With the right approach to smile care, your tooth can be protected against dental decay, even when the cavity in need of your dentist’s attention has caused a painful infection to occur. To address internal problems caused by an infection, Sunny Smiles is prepared to provide root canal therapy. By removing bacteria and infected tissues, we are able to stop the worsening spread of decay and make sure that you are safe against further complications. This can also resolve ongoing issues with dental pain. You should know that your risk for problems that require this service are reduced when you keep up with your regular dental exams.
Why You Might Need A Root Canal To Restore Your Tooth’s Health
Not all cavities require root canal treatment, but it is important to note that when this procedure is needed, you should make it a priority. This type of restorative work addresses problems within your tooth structure; once bacteria reach your pulp, where living tissues are housed, you can experience more significant discomfort, and you are vulnerable to the spread of harmful microbes to other parts of the body. Eventually, this can lead to enough harm to make a tooth extraction necessary!
Root Canals Respond To Complications From Advanced Cavities And Physical Injuries
For both advanced cavities and dental injuries, it will be important that you have your tooth evaluated for internal problems. By doing so, you can learn if a root canal will be needed. The procedure will see your dentist carefully access the tooth’s central chamber, and from there the infected tissues and harmful microbes will be removed. After this is done, your pulp can be sealed, and you can receive protection from a dental crown.
Protecting Your Tooth After A Root Canal
The placement of dental crowns protects teeth that need more support than dental fillings are meant to supply. Their placement can take place over two appointments. We take care to provide restorations that are carefully made to both fit securely and provide a natural look. For those patients who need work done on their front teeth, we can use materials that imitate healthy enamel to provide positive cosmetic results. We can check on the state of any dental crowns you have received during oral health exams, just as we can check your healthy teeth for any signs of trouble that will have to be addressed.
