Cracked Tooth

A cracked tooth is a problem because it reduces the strength of your tooth. When a cracked tooth is left alone, it could turn into a more serious problem. Plaque and tartar in the mouth are able to seep into the cracks and create decay and further damage. The problems can even move beyond the teeth to the gums and bone.

On its own, a cracked tooth is easier, quicker, and less expensive to fix than more extensive problems that could result from ignoring it. That’s why it’s smart to take care of this type of problem as soon as you or a dentist notices it.

Advances in general dentistry have created more options for repairing a cracked tooth. Our advanced techniques allow us to blend the color of the fixed tooth with your natural teeth for a seamless look.

If you think you have a cracked tooth, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive exam to determine the level of the damage and the best solution for you.

Root Canal Therapy

A root canal is a procedure used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. Although normal tooth decay can become increasingly worse and eventually lead to a root canal, often times blunt trauma can cause the tooth to die as well.

Your dentist will remove the dead nerve from the tooth and then seal it off to prevent another infection or abscess from forming around the tooth. If the nerve is not removed the infection will continue to climb deeper into your gums, often causing swelling, pain, and discomfort.

Do not wait to see your dentist if you are experiencing any kind of discomfort. Call our office today at (760) 966-0800 to schedule an appointment.
