Tooth pain is more than just a potential nuisance—when pain is significant, or when it seemingly refuses to cease, it can serve as a warning that something is wrong with your oral health. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we can perform an assessment to see if you require root canal treatment to put a stop to pain. This service will effectively deal with an infection that has formed within the pulp, the central chamber of your tooth. Beyond responding to the threat from your infection, we can protect your smile and dental health by capping a vulnerable tooth with a custom dental crown!
Is A Toothache Really A Cause For Concern?
Tooth pain is not always a sign that you have a serious oral health issue. A brief period of discomfort can occur when you have a sinus infection, for instance. With that said, persistent or serious pain should be taken seriously and motivate you to seek care from your dentist. When you suspect that your discomfort might be a sign of trouble, you should bring up the matter as soon as possible. If an infection has already developed, it can have worsening consequences, and can lead to tooth loss among other issues.
Scheduling Your Root Canal Therapy
We can bring you in to have your aching tooth evaluated. After confirming that an internal problem needs to be addressed, we can proceed with root canal treatment to remove the bacteria and damaged tissues. The process of accessing and cleaning this space puts a stop to pain and sensitivity, and it can keep a harmful infection from spreading further. After this work is done, a dental crown is used to keep a tooth safe from any new issues. The restorations we use can offer functional support and coverage to preserve your smile.
Placing A Custom Crown After Treatment To Protect Your Tooth
Dental crowns are carefully made to fit over patients’ teeth, keeping them secure and preserving your bite without causing problems for neighboring teeth or your dental health. The restoration can be placed in the course of two appointments. Preparatory work needs to occur during your initial visit. After this work is complete, and your crown is ready for you, we will bring you back for your second appointment, at which point you can enjoy support from your permanent restoration!
