A root canal is a dental procedure that saves the badly damaged or infected tooth, rather than removing it. Advances in dentistry have allowed for the precision of our endodontic specialist, because of this, patients have rather low amounts, if any pain at all with the surgery and recovery of a root canal.

Cracked Teeth

• Whether your tooth has cracked due to an injury or general wear and tear, you can experience a variety of symptoms ranging from erratic pain when you chew your food to sudden pain when your tooth is exposed to very hot or cold temperatures.
• There are many different types of cracked teeth. The treatment and outcome for your tooth depend on the type, location, and extent of the crack.
• The sooner your tooth is treated, the better the outcome.
• Once treated, most cracked teeth continue to function as they should, for many years of pain-free biting and chewing.

Root Canal Therapy

• According to the American Association of Endodontists, root canal therapy is the most feared dental procedure of all.
• Despite this stigma, root canal therapy is actually a pain-free, quick and relatively comfortable procedure.
• In fact, it relieves your pain and can prevent more complicated oral issues down the road.
• A root canal is a term used to describe the natural cavity in the center of a tooth.
• This area contains a soft area known as the pulp chamber that houses the nerves.
• If this area becomes irritated or infected due to cavities, trauma or decay, root canal therapy is necessary.
• If left untreated, the infection can cause an abscess, which can lead to swelling of the face and neck and bone loss around the roots of teeth.

Internal Bleaching

• Internal bleaching treatment is recommended after a tooth undergoes staining from within the tooth itself.
• Typically, this is due to a structural defect within the tooth, a dying tooth, or because blood and other bodily fluids penetrated the tooth during prior root canal treatment.
• Regardless of the cause, it's possible to restore such a tooth to match the color of its adjacent teeth by bleaching the tooth from the inside-out – a process known as internal tooth bleaching.
