TOOTH / ROOT CANAL FILLINGS
Cavity?
A cavity, also called tooth decay, is a hole that forms in your tooth. Cavities start small and gradually become bigger when they’re left untreated. Because many cavities don’t cause pain in the beginning, it can be hard to realize that a problem exists. Regular dental appointments can detect tooth decay early.
An early detection can complete the treatment with simple restoration / filling.
Root Canal Treatment
Unnoticed small cavities that become extensive tooth decays or impact injuries, can lead to infection or death of the nerve tissue (pulp) inside a tooth. This can lead to various symptoms like severe pain, increased sensitivity, swelling of the gums, bad breath or tooth discoloration.
A root canal treatment, also called endodontic therapy, is a safe procedure that treats the inside of the infected tooth, relieves pain and saves your natural tooth. A custom-fit cap (crown) over your tooth is required to replace its natural crown.
