A root canal is required when a patient has a badly damaged or infected area on the inside of one or more teeth. This area is deep enough that it impacts the root of the tooth. Patients in need of a root canal sometimes experience pain, sensitivity, or signs of infection around the affected tooth. Other times, there can be no symptoms and the infection is only detected with routine x-rays. In order to perform a root canal, a small hole is created in the tooth which allows your endodontist to clean and treat the damaged or infected root canals on the inside. The benefit of a root canal is that it allows you to keep your natural teeth so you won’t require dental implants.
Though a root canal may sound intimidating, with modern dental anesthetics, root canal treatment is an almost painless procedure. Dr. Grothe will ensure that root canal treatments are done as painlessly as possible so our patients can remain comfortable throughout the appointment, keep their natural teeth, and get back to living life free from dental pain and discomfort.
A cracked tooth is often a result of injury or infection and can cause pain and discomfort. While most people will notice when they crack a tooth, smaller cracks can occur that may go unnoticed until they become large enough to require treatment. If left untreated for an extended period of time, a cracked tooth will start to decay and may eventually require removal or extensive surgery.
At Root Dental, we have a CBCT x-ray machine that allows us to capture a 3D scan of the skull. This allows us to diagnose cracked teeth that would not be visible in check-up or panoramic x-rays.
Traumatic injuries can result from car or sporting accidents, a fall, or other events that involve injury to the face and mouth. These impact injuries generally require dental surgery afterward to repair, remove, or correct the affected teeth. The doctors at Root Dental have the expertise needed to fix your teeth in the event you suffer a traumatic injury resulting in cracked, dislodged, or avulsed teeth.
For the best chances at saving a tooth damaged by a traumatic event, contact us as soon as possible following the injury. We will carefully evaluate your situation and present you with the options that best fit your needs.
