When You Need Root Canal Treatment, But Don’t Expect It
Root canal treatment is the process of carefully removing an infection from the inside of your tooth’s inner structures – mainly, its pulp chamber and root canal. As such, it’s usually recommended when tooth decay has become so severe that it reaches these chambers. If you’ve neglected a growing toothache or hesitated to receive a tooth filling, then the need for root canal treatment might not be much a surprise. However, at our Grand Prairie, TX, dental office, we might also uncover other reasons for root canal treatment during your visit that you might not have expected. (more…)
