Every May, we take the time to emphasize the importance of retaining natural teeth. Nothing beats the natural appearance, feel, and function of a tooth. Regular brushing and flossing, as well as six-month dental visits, can help you keep your teeth for a lifetime. Your teeth may, however, become infected or sick at any time, demanding extra care. Endodontists can help you in saving your natural tooth.

How to save your tooth

Consult an endodontist

Endodontics has progressed in terms of technology, methods, and materials, making it possible to save your natural teeth through a range of treatment options. It's vital to understand your choices and how they'll affect your tooth and oral health in the long run. Keep your natural teeth whenever possible, and for the best health and aesthetic results, endodontic treatment should always be your first choice. Endodontists specialize in tooth preservation, and your natural teeth are valuable assets. A professional can evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action to help you keep your teeth for the rest of your life.

Root canal treatment

It's natural if the words "root canal" made you cringe a little. Root canals have a bad reputation for being a painful procedure. However, a root canal performed by a trained dentist or endodontist is not painful. If you come in with a hurting tooth, you're extremely likely to leave with a big reduction in discomfort after the operation.

The type of tooth and the complexity of its root canal network influence root canal operations. However, we clean and fill the empty pulp chamber and root canals after removing the damaged pulp tissue. This stops the infection and, when combined with the sealing and crowning of the tooth, helps to prevent it from spreading.

Don’t live with tooth pain, let’s make your smile pain-free at Charlotte Root Canal Center. If you need a root canal, do not be anxious. Call us at (704) 327-3187 and request an appointment.
