Treating A Cavity Before It Causes Internal Tooth Problems
Why is timing so important when it comes to treating a cavity? The threat posed by tooth decay is serious – if nothing is done in time, you could lose your tooth, and you could have an infection spread from the original problem tooth to your jawbone, and neighboring teeth. Prompt restorative dental care can ensure that the damage you experience is minimized, meaning a smaller restoration, and no complications. How can you make sure you have access to the right treatment as soon as possible? Your dentist can actually identify a cavity at an early stage of its formation when you go in for a routine appointment. This can help ensure that you only need a dental filling after your treatment, and it can mean escaping the need for treatment in the form of a root canal procedure.

What Makes A Root Canal Procedure Necessary?
You may not know what the problem is, but if you have a lingering toothache, or dental sensitivity, you may expect to need some form of restorative dental work. Based on the degree of your problem, your dentist will recommend the appropriate treatment.

While the idea of a root canal can make some patients nervous, you should know that modern care can provide a better experience, and focus on your comfort. You should also know that ignoring a problem that makes a root canal necessary can lead to unhappy complications. Continue reading “What Makes A Root Canal Procedure Necessary?”
Quiz: Paying Attention To Symptoms Of Oral Health Trouble
How much attention should you give a symptom of possible oral health trouble? Should you wait to see if a toothache goes away on its own, or make an appointment for dental care right away?

After all, if you ignore a problem that requires care, it can continue to worsen, and it may lead to your needing more involved treatment when you finally bring the matter to your dentist’s attention.

Remember These 3 Things If You Have An Injured Tooth
Quiz: What You Should Know About Modern Fillings
What should you know about modern dental fillings, and how they can benefit you? One matter that many patients can appreciate is how modern dental fillings affect your smile – or, more accurately, how they do not affect your smile. Because your dentist is using composite resin fillings to restore your tooth after cavity treatment, your tooth will not be affected visually. This material is durable enough to protect your enamel, and it can be a great cosmetic match for the surface of your tooth. Patients who come in for cavity treatment can feel more comfortable and confident when they know that their appearance will not be negatively altered by a procedure.

A Painful Tooth Injury Can Be Addressed With A Dental Crown
Your dentist provides patients with modern restorations. Because of this, you can count on a dental problem being addressed with a filling or crown that blends in with your smile, while also offering valuable protection. Dental crowns are often used in cavity treatments, but they are also relied on to respond to dental injuries. A custom-made crown can be produced using many different material types. For less visible teeth that take on more biting and chewing pressures, a metal crown can be preferred. However, this type of crown may be less than ideal for a tooth that is more visible. Fortunately, ceramic crowns provide protection, while also mimicking a natural tooth. Continue reading “A Painful Tooth Injury Can Be Addressed With A Dental Crown”

Why You Might Need A Root Canal For An Injured Tooth
You might assume that root canal treatments are only necessary when you have a cavity, but they may be an important part of your treatment if you experience a dental injury. The purpose of a root canal is to eliminate a problem that has developed in the interior of your tooth. When you suffer dental trauma, your tooth’s internal tissues can be jeopardized in several ways. If your tooth is cracked, you face a risk for infection. The injury can also cause internal damage even if it is not cracked. Fortunately, the restorative care you receive from your dentist can minimize discomfort, and protect the health of your tooth.
