Endodontic services treat problems within your tooth structure. Whether your issue is with a severe cavity or an injury that has caused internal harm, it can be important to schedule the right kind of care. Sunny Smiles is prepared to help by providing root canal therapy when appropriate. This service will remove bacteria and infected tissues from within the tooth structure. In doing so, we will be able to stop an infection or internal injury from creating more problems, and from ultimately making you vulnerable to tooth loss. We should note that you can lower your risk for experiencing this kind of trouble when you keep up with regular dental exams, as these visits alert you to problems before they grow severe enough to require advanced treatment.
Your Tooth May Have Internal Problems That Need To Be Addressed
When an oral health issue becomes serious, it can make you vulnerable to an infection. One cause of infection is an untreated cavity, as oral bacteria can eventually make their way into the pulp—the tooth’s central chamber—as a cavity worsens. It is also possible for a physical injury to result in this kind of problem. For our patients who go through this kind of issue, there is something we can do to help. We perform root canal therapy when there are endodontic issues; in doing so, we can stop something that is wrong from becoming more serious and creating even worse complications.
Scheduling Your Root Canal
We can schedule a root canal for you after we confirm that your dental trouble is serious enough to warrant it. The procedure will see your dentist carefully reveal the inner structure of your tooth so that bacteria and damaged tissues can be removed. Upon the completion of this service, we can make sure that your pulp is sealed before taking the additional step of placing a permanent restoration. A crown can completely cover the tooth and stop new problems from arising. We use different materials to make crowns, including restorations that are able to imitate your healthy enamel.
How Can You Avoid Root Canals In The Future?
If you want to lower your risk for the kinds of problems that make root canal therapy necessary, keep up with a consistent oral hygiene routine and regularly visit your dentist for routine services. During preventive dental appointments, we are able to remove tartar buildup and closely inspect your teeth so that we can identify problems with decay that are treatable with dental fillings.
