When do you need a Root Canal Treatment?
Does every tooth that needs a crown need root canal treatment too? Absolutely not. Root canals are only needed if the infection in a tooth has spread to the root canal system within the tooth causing pain and sensitivity or if there is insufficient tooth structure to support a crown. At Acharya Dental, we believe in a conservative approach only treat the root canal of a tooth if clinical and radiographic (Xrays) findings show us the need for the procedure. Crowns are most successful when they are done on teeth that have not been root canal treated, and that is why we strive to preserve the vitality of your teeth.
Why do we need to get our teeth-filled?
Why do we need to get our teeth filled when we get a cavity? Plaque – a sticky, almost colorless layer of bacteria that forms on your teeth- mixes with the sugars in foods to produce decay causing acids. When bacteria create a cavity in the tooth, the dentist usually fills it with a durable material, most often a composite (a tooth-colored material), a metal alloy called amalgam or gold. A filling can last from five years to a lifetime, depending on its location, the material used, and the care you give your teeth. Make an appointment at our clinic to explore more tooth-filling options for yourself.
