Revitalize Your Smile: Expert Care in Every Step
Decay and infection can significantly impact your oral health. If you need a root canal, we collaborate with skilled endodontists – specialists in saving teeth – to ensure the procedure is expertly handled. Following the root canal, our team at Dentistry at East Piedmont will be dedicated to restoring your mouth to optimal health.
The Risks of Avoiding a Root Canal:
Tooth Loss: Severe decay or dental trauma can damage the tooth’s pulp. If left untreated, this can lead to the loss of the entire tooth.
Extensive Decay: An infection in one tooth can spread, compromising the health of surrounding teeth. Early treatment is crucial to prevent more extensive issues.
Nerve Pain: A crack extending to the nerve can cause significant pain. Addressing any chips or cracks early is key to preventing severe discomfort.
Dental Abscess: An untreated infected tooth may lead to a dental abscess, which can have serious health implications if not promptly addressed.
Post-Root Canal Care:
A tooth post-root canal is more susceptible to fractures and requires careful restoration to maintain proper alignment. A crown is essential to reinforce the tooth and ensure its integrity.
