Naperville Cracked Tooth10
If you are having intermittent tooth pain that has been difficult to diagnose, you will want to come to our endodontic practice, Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC. Our expert endodontist will be able to find the exact source of your tooth pain, even if it is a
Naperville cracked tooth.
Sometimes finding the source of tooth pain, when the cause is a
Naperville cracked tooth, can be difficult to do. This is because the cracked tooth is not easily visible, and the tooth pain is often intermittent. However, if you have a cracked tooth, it is important that you come to our endodontic practice for treatment. Cracked teeth can sometimes be cosmetically treated, and other times they can cause serious tooth damage. If you have a tooth that has a crack that is restricted to the surface of the tooth, this problem can be easily fixed by a cosmetic dentist. However, there are many other types of tooth cracks which need to be treated by an endodontist. When a tooth is cracked, it can cause irritation to occur to the pulp of the tooth when the person chews. This repeated irritation can cause the pulp of the tooth to become damaged; when this occurs, the life of the tooth is threatened. The only way the tooth can be saved is with a root canal treatment. Our endodontist specializes in root canal care, and can provide you with a root canal using the most modern dental techniques and equipment. Root canal treatments are effective in saving teeth in over 90% of cases. Sometimes, if a tooth crack goes below the gum line, the tooth may not be able to be saved, in which case the tooth will need to be extracted and replaced with a dental implant or dental bridge.
If you are suffering with tooth pain, and need to have the source of the pain diagnosed and treated, contact our office for an appointment. If you need to have an emergency appointment for your
Naperville cracked tooth, please let our office staff know, and this will be arranged.
