When you attend a dental examination, your dentist can discover any problems with tooth decay that require treatment before causing any painful symptoms. This means that when caught in time, a more conservative procedure, such as a dental filling, can repair your tooth. While consistent dental attendance can help you discover these problems in their early stage, decay can sometimes lead to a more advanced state.
Your San Antonio, TX dentist can provide more involved care when decay causes more serious damage. If an infection of oral bacteria reaches the inner chamber of your tooth, we could
provide a root canal therapy. By removing your infection, we treat your body's painful inflammatory response and restore the tooth to maintain its position in your mouth. Let us know right away if you suspect an infection, as waiting for treatment risks allowing your infection to spread.
