When most of us think about root canal therapy, we immediately associate it with pain. As we all know, pain is usually the body's way of waving a red flag, telling us that something is wrong. So, it's completely understandable that if a dentist or endodontist recommends a root canal when you feel perfectly fine, you might be confused. This post will explain why pain isn't always the best indicator of tooth health and why listening to your endodontist's recommendation could save your tooth.
At West Fort Worth Endodontics, we combat the stigma that dental professionals push unnecessary treatments for profit. Our patients are often surprised when we don't recommend a procedure, instead focusing on an accurate diagnosis to find the true source of their pain. This post will explore the critical role we play in diagnosing tooth pain, ensuring you get the right care for your specific needs.
A change in tooth color, though seemingly cosmetic, can often signal an underlying problem. Understanding these color changes is key to maintaining your oral health, as they can offer clues about what's happening inside your tooth. This guide will help you identify common causes of discoloration, what specific colors mean and when to see an endodontist.
Biting down on something hard and feeling a sharp pain can be alarming, signaling a potential cracked tooth. Ignoring even a small crack can lead to serious issues like infection, decay, and intense pain, potentially resulting in tooth loss. At West Fort Worth Endodontics, we specialize in effective treatments for cracked teeth to restore your oral health and keep you smiling.
When dealing with a severely damaged or infected tooth, you may need to choose between a root canal or extraction, each with long-term oral health implications. While extraction might seem simpler, modern dentistry prioritizes saving natural teeth through root canals, as they are stronger and more effective than artificial replacements. This blog post discusses important factors such as long-term impact, health, recovery and cost when evaluating what you should do (spoiler alert: see an endodontist!).
