In the case of dental trauma, like chips, cracks or other damage, a dental crown might be ideal. Crowns are made of durable materials, that can help take the pressure off your tooth, as you chew, allowing damaged teeth to remain intact.
If your teeth have been worn due to grinding, a crown or several crowns might also be able to help eliminate sensitivity caused by damaged teeth.
By preserving your tooth, crowns also help protect healthy tooth roots, which are essential to maintaining one’s jaw structure as you age.
If you are suffering from an infection, then root canal treatment may be needed to restore your oral health and improve your comfort. Root canal treatment is a more invasive form of treatment than a crown or filling, but it is better than choosing an extraction, which would then require a prosthetic tooth be placed to complete the smile.
Root canal therapy or treatment helps to rid your tooth of an infection, and prevent the spread of that infection to other parts of the smile.
