When Infection Invades A Tooth

Posted by

Root Mansfield TXThe proper care for our oral structures is crucial in the maintenance of a healthy smile. These materials provide the foundation for protection against the constant battle against bacterial growth. One of these forms of tissue is known as the enamel, which is the hard outer coating of the tooth. Dental erosion is the term for the loss of this material due to wear or exposure. You can develop pain whenever bacteria start to reach the interior portion of the tooth. This is due to the harm to the nerve and this is a sign that you need to see a dental professional quickly.

One effective method of the removal of the interior infection of a tooth is through a root canal procedure. The process involves the removal of the soft pulp within. After this portion is no longer present, your oral health care provider seals the connections to the bone of the jaw. Speak with us at Mansfield Dental Associates in Mansfield, TX to learn more about how a root canal can help you to be free of your troublesome infection! (more…)
