When deep decay affects the nerves and soft tissues of a tooth, your smile may be compromised. Internal damage cannot be covered with a crown or veneer. Instead, the infected nerve must be removed in order to avoid permanent tooth loss.
Root canals may be needed for a tooth that:
- Has undergone trauma
- Is highly sensitive
- Causes severe pain or toothache
- Is discolored or dark
- Has large fillings that are leaking
- Has fractured roots
If you are experiencing tooth pain or darkening, it’s time to consult with Dr. Van Horn about your oral health. You can schedule your consultation with a call to our office today.
Don’t Delay Root Canal Treatment!
Some patients delay root canal therapy because they are afraid of potential pain or costs. However, root canal treatment is an urgent service that could save your natural tooth when completed promptly.
Dr. Van Horn may suggest root canal therapy if it can prevent tooth extraction and provide relief. Root canal treatment will protect your natural smile and your comfort, and can be perfectly affordable.
