Root canal treatment can be a part of your cavity treatment, but it can also be something that you avoid. Regular dental exams provide timely warnings about different oral health issues, including decay. A small cavity that we catch and treat with a dental filling will be resolved before you are at risk for infection. In the event that you do need more involved care, be mindful of the overall threat to your oral health. In its advanced stage, decay can cause more than just discomfort—in time, bacteria can spread through your tooth, causing problems with infection in new areas!
Any time restorative work is needed, you should know that your dentist will be able to put a stop to an active threat before it worsens. Of course, our services can do more than just stop something worse from occurring. Through root canal therapy, we can resolve pain and sensitivity issues as we clear out infected tissues and bacteria from your pulp. We can then make plans to restore your tooth so that you no longer have to feel self-conscious for your smile. In addition to working with you to minimize any discomfort during your procedure, we can offer dental sedation if you are uncomfortable with the idea of treatment.
The right dental crown is one that fits your tooth securely, avoids causing issues with its neighbors, and generally supports your dental function as well as your smile. We take care to closely measure teeth and provide the necessary preparatory work to ensure that procedures are successful, and that there are no issues after your restorative work concludes.
By providing root canal treatment, we can stop potentially severe threats to your oral health from progressing and causing more problems for you. If you have questions or concerns about the current state of your smile, call Gentle Smiles Family Dentistry in Dallas, TX at 972-329-7645.
