Do you have a toothache? There are many reasons why it may be causing you discomfort. Tooth decay, a damaged filling, a fracture bruxism or infected gums may all be possible causes. It’s also possible, however, that you may need a root canal. A root canal is required when the pulp inside your tooth becomes diseased. If you contact Covington Dental Partners in time, the pulp can save your teeth from a possible extraction.
Here are some common scenarios that characteristically lead to pulp infections and root canal treatments:
– One of your teeth has had multiple dental treatments
– A cavity is left untreated for a long time
– You have suffered an oral accident or injury left you with broken or fractured teeth wherein the root is left exposed
– Injuries emerge in teeth that aren’t visible and bacteria seeps to the root of the tooth
Covington Dental Partners in Covington, Georgia is here to help you with all your oral health needs. If you think you may need a root canal, don’t hesitate to call us at 770-786-9339 immediately.
