What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is needed when bacteria infect the nerve of your tooth. We save the tooth by removing the infected pulp, alleviating pain, and preventing the infection from spreading. The tooth is then restored to its natural function and appearance.

Our Treatment Process

Our team will first evaluate your condition and decide if root canal therapy is the right option. Typically, treatment takes 2-3 visits, depending on the severity. Using digital x-rays, we create a treatment plan specific to your needs. We access the pulp, remove the infection, clean the root canals, and then seal the tooth. A dental crown is often placed to protect and strengthen the tooth.

Cracked Tooth Treatment

Cracked and fractured teeth are common as people retain their natural teeth longer. Cracks can occur due to factors like biting hard objects, trauma, and grinding, which put extra strain on teeth.
When tooth enamel cracks, pain can be intense but often subsides once pressure is relieved. However, untreated cracks can expose the tooth’s pulp, leading to infection and constant pain.

Symptoms of a Cracked Tooth:

  • Pain when eating
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold foods
  • Unexplained pain
  • Difficulty pinpointing the pain’s location

Types of Cracks:

  1. Crazes: Tiny surface cracks, usually harmless but may affect appearance.
  2. Oblique Supragingival Cracks: Affect the tooth crown, causing minimal pain.
  3. Oblique Subgingival Cracks: Extend below the gum line and require treatment, often including surgery.
  4. Vertical Furcation Cracks: Affect the tooth roots and nerves, often treatable with root canal therapy and a crown.
  5. Oblique Root Cracks: Below the gum line, usually requiring extraction.
  6. Vertical Apical Root Cracks: At the root tip, often causing severe pain and may require extraction.

Treatment for Cracked Teeth:

X-rays help diagnose cracks, with root canal therapy often recommended for cracks affecting the tooth root. If the tooth is too damaged, extraction may be necessary, with restorative options like bridges, implants, or dentures available.
