Traumatic Dental Injuries
Traumatic dental injuries can happen in an instant, whether it’s a fall, sports accident, or unexpected impact. These injuries range from chipped or dislodged teeth to more complex damage involving the root or surrounding bone. Prompt, expert care is essential not only to save the tooth but also to preserve your long-term oral health.
Internal Bleaching
Internal bleaching is a specific procedure used to whiten teeth from the inside. It’s particularly useful for teeth that have darkened following previous trauma. This technique involves placing a bleaching agent inside the discolored tooth, which whitens it from within. This safe and effective approach helps restore the natural look of the tooth without damaging the outer enamel.
Cracked Teeth
If you’ve cracked one or more of your teeth, chewing can begin to move the cracked pieces, which irritates the pulp within the tooth. Biting pressure can cause the crack to close quickly, which results in sharp pain. This constant movement will damage the pulp and generate consistent discomfort, even when you are not chewing. When left untreated, cracks can infect the pulp tissue, which can spread to the bone and gum surrounding the problematic tooth.
Endodontists specialize in saving cracked teeth and will tailor your treatment to ensure you can smile and chew again with ease. The sooner your crack is addressed, the better! Don’t hesitate to give our office a call for the care that can’t wait.
