Why would one person’s cavity require a different kind of treatment than someone else’s? In cases where tooth decay is identified and treated at a relatively early stage, a patient would typically only require a dental filling to support their tooth. In a case where a person’s cavity is more severe, the appropriate treatment can involve a root canal, and the creation and placement of a custom dental crown.

These appointments also provide you with the kind of quality preventive care that can reduce the likelihood that a cavity will develop and impact your oral health. (more…)
