How Do I Know If I Need A Root Canal?

When your tooth begins to ache, or when you experience a physical injury, you can have some understandable questions and concerns about what you should do to have it treated. Problems with your oral health can require different approaches; if something causes trouble within the tooth structure, it can take a root canal to resolve it. Sunny Smiles is prepared to help patients when this kind of care is required. After confirming it needs to take place to properly restore your oral health, we can provide the procedure itself as well as restorative work to make sure that your tooth remains safe and secure.

A Root Canal Takes Care Of Internal Tooth Problems

Dealing with a threat to your tooth’s health is important. While we have reliable protection from our enamel, problems that do affect us will worsen in time until they are properly addressed through restorative dental work. When that problem stems from the formation of a cavity, the decay will continue to spread, and eventually the damage will leave your pulp exposed to an infection. Root canals deal with this problem as well as problems with infections linked to physical injuries. Going without this treatment can leave your tooth vulnerable to worsening problems, which can ultimately lead to its loss and the need for a prosthetic appliance.

Providing Root Canal Therapy For A Vulnerable Tooth

Through root canal therapy, we are able to access and resolve problems with an infection in your pulp. Removing bacteria and infected tissues will stop any further discomfort, and the sealing of the pulp after this is done can help your tooth remain safe against future threats. To complete your care after your procedure is complete, we will prepare the tooth to be capped with a durable dental crown.

Restoring Your Tooth After Your Procedure

To protect your tooth after your root canal, you will receive a custom dental crown. The coverage that it provides will help you maintain a comfortable bite function, and it can provide the appropriate coverage to prevent cosmetic issues from affecting you. We are able to preserve your smile because we can offer crowns that imitate enamel as well as provide important functional support.
