Upset Over A Toothache? Root Canal Therapy Can Help
It is difficult to ignore tooth pain, particularly when it limits your ability to eat and drink. Rather than simply trying to work around your discomfort, you should have your Mansfield, TX dentist examine the sore or sensitive tooth and see what the problem is. Pain is often a symptom of an infection, which means the tooth’s health will keep growing worse until root canal therapy is performed! Fortunately, this procedure can put a stop to the spread of bacteria through the tooth’s roots before more complications occur. After taking care to stop your discomfort, we can make sure that your tooth remains safe by providing you with a custom dental crown. (more…)
Placing A Dental Crown As Part Of Your Cavity Treatment

At our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office, patients can have teeth restored with custom crowns that are designed to provide long-term protection. You can count on the crown to support you when you bite and chew food, so you will not be forced to work around it.

How Concerned Should You Be About A Chipped Tooth?
If you chip your tooth, you may be more concerned with your appearance than with the actual health of the tooth.
