Normally, your teeth are kept safe by enamel, the tissue that makes up the hard exterior. But when this protection is lost through injury, tooth decay, or something else, then you become at risk of bacterial infection. This happens when bacteria find their way inside the tooth, causing damage as they go. So, when you notice pain or discomfort, an endodontic procedure might be necessary to save the tooth and keep you safe.
Our team is ready to help. Dr. Philip Farruggia, DDS at Appletree Family Dental understands the importance of addressing a cracked or broken tooth. When bacteria start to grow within a damaged molar or incisor, root canal treatment eliminates the infection and protects the affected tooth from future harm. Appletree Family Dental performs root canals right here in the office, saving our patients time and hassle.
