You could have knocked your filling out (or even lost a small part of your tooth). Sometimes, you may only have a crack, though there are times when you may lose most of your tooth. If you have been hit in the face, you may be facing significant damage to your tooth. Depending on the exact damage to your tooth, you are going to have several options when it comes to fixing your tooth.  Here are some of the options that your dentist may suggest:</image:caption>

Also known as dentin hypersensitivity, tooth sensitivity occurs when a person experiences pain in response to particular stimuli, such as temperature changes. While it can occur in one tooth, multiple teeth, or all of a person's teeth, and can be temporary or long-lasting, tooth sensitivity can usually be managed by a combination of good oral hygiene habits and assistance from your dentist. If you're suffering from sensitivity in one or more of your teeth, here's what you should know about finding relief.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Are you embarrassed about how yellow your teeth look in photos? Have you given up your favorite red lipstick because it makes your teeth look decrepit? Maybe it’s time to consider professional teeth whitening. But what treatment is right for you?  Let’s put this out there right away — if you want to whiten your teeth, make an appointment with a professional. Over-the-counter teeth whitening kits aren’t that effective and can actually damage your tooth enamel. Additionally, some tooth discoloration doesn’t respond to topical bleaching treatments, and you’ll need an internal bleaching treatment.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>General dentists and endodontists both fit under the category of dental care professionals. All endodontists are dentists, but not all dentists specialize in endodontics. Endodontists must complete two additional years of training to be able to perform procedures that relate to the interior of the tooth. These treatments are designed to remove damaged dental pulp and address issues like gum inflammation or tooth disease.  At Charlotte Root Canal Center, our endodontist, Ramesh K. Sunar, DMD, is an expert in addressing a wide range of dental issues and is prepared to help you achieve the most effective solutions.</image:caption>

Sometimes, it may be obvious, such as when you’ve suffered an impact injury that results in one or more teeth damaged, loose, or knocked out. Another injury could be classed an emergency when severe pain starts suddenly and for reasons unknown to you. Prompt care can prevent a bigger issue later, and many people aren’t aware that we can often save a tooth that’s knocked out if it’s not otherwise damaged. Sometimes, only you can define what’s an emergency for you.  At the Charlotte Root Canal Center, Ramesh K. Sunar, DMD, is an endodontist specializing in emergency dental services. Make us your first call when a dental emergency arises.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When you have a badly damaged, decayed, or infected tooth, a root canal treatment is the best way to clear the infection and fix the problem. Sometimes, the infection may be too persistent for root canal treatment alone to save your tooth.

Expert endodontist Dr. Ramesh K. Sunar is experienced at performing apicoectomies here in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has the lowdown on what the treatment is, and what you can expect when you visit us here at Charlotte Root Canal Center to fix your unsuccessful root canal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What Is Internal Teeth Bleaching?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dentists perform more than 15 million root canals each year. That is 41,000 every day. If you’ve had a root canal procedure, you may notice your tooth is starting to darken. Don’t worry — internal bleaching can fix the discoloration.  Here at the Charlotte Root Canal Center, we take pride in helping people get the smile they want. If you have tooth discoloration as a result of a root canal, we can help you smile again too.  What is internal teeth bleaching? During the root canal procedure, your tooth is vulnerable to contaminants. Blood, bacteria, and saliva can enter the tooth.  As the bacteria and other contaminants break down down within the tooth, they also darken. The only way to fix it is with internal teeth bleaching.  You cannot bleach your teeth from the outside and expect it to resolve this problem. You need a minor surgical procedure to get inside the tooth to lighten it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Apicoectomy - What is an apicoectomy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>An apicoectomy refers to a minor endodontic surgical procedure during which Dr. Sunar removes the upper tip of your tooth’s root and seals it.  When should you consider getting an apicoectomy? Dr. Sunar recommends that you consider getting an apicoectomy when root canal treatment has been unsuccessful in treating damaged pulp. In most cases, an apicoectomy is required when the root canal doesn’t solve your problem or when the apex—or the tip—of the root becomes infected again.  Dr. Sunar might perform a second root canal treatment on your tooth to clear out damaged canals, though he will most likely need to remove the crown to do so. This can cause damage to the gum line and the root, making it necessary for him to perform an apicoectomy.  Keep in mind that an apicoectomy can only occur on a tooth that has already undergone root canal treatment. It’s not a standalone procedure.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Root Canal - What is a root canal?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The term root canal can mean one of two things. The most commonly known use is the dental treatment, and the second meaning is actually a technical term referring to the most inner part of your tooth that stores soft tissue. The soft tissue in the inner tooth contains many blood vessels and nerves that are responsible for sensitivity to hot and cold once the adult tooth has matured. If this nerve is impacted, you run the risk of experiencing swelling, infections, or severe toothaches. If this occurs, Dr. Sunar recommends root canal treatment, the lead endodontic procedure. During this procedure, Dr. Sunar eliminates infection and pain by getting rid of damaged pulp and covering the treatment area with a crown and filling material. Root canal treatment is safe and painless.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Endodontics - What is endodontics?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on treating dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the roots of your teeth. Dental pulp refers to the most inner part of the tooth that contains nerves, cells, and blood vessels vital to dental health. This pulp is responsible for your sensitivity to hot and cold. The most commonly practiced endodontic procedure is root canal treatment, which removes damaged pulp and cleans out the soft tissues inside the tooth.  What’s the difference between an endodontist and a dentist? While dentists and endodontists both belong to dentistry as a whole, the latter specializes in a specific area of the tooth. Almost any dentist can treat issues related to cavity fillings, cosmetic procedures, and your overall dental health. Think of your dentist as you would your primary dental care physician. However, an endodontist receives additional training to treat specific dental injuries. As an expert endodontist, Dr. Sunar can diagnose and treat your tooth pain with targeted procedures.</image:caption>
