At our Greenville, TX dentist’s office, we take care to treat problems with poor oral health promptly. At a regular dental evaluation, you can receive a warning about tooth decay before the problem starts to cause you any pain or sensitivity, which means we can save more of your enamel from harm. However, when you go without these exams, you can experience the problems associated with more significant decay. When this happens, you may find that you need a root canal. This procedure becomes necessary when decay leads to the infiltration of bacteria into your pulp, the inner chamber of your tooth where living tissues are housed. Beyond just removing bacteria and infected tissues in this space, we can restore your tooth with a crown after treatment to keep it safe from further harm. (more…)
