A root canal treatment can be avoided when you seek treatment for a cavity in a timely manner. The purpose of performing a root canal treatment is to address problems that are located in your pulp, at the center of your tooth. What this means is that your dentist will not perform this procedure if your cavity is identified, and treated, before a problem arises. Unfortunately, patients can be unaware they have an issue with tooth decay until it reaches their pulp, and causes issues like sensitivity and pain. If you suffer a persistent toothache, let your dentist know, as a root canal can bring relief…and stop a problem from doing irreversible harm to that tooth. (more…)
Too Much Soda Can Do Real Harm To Your Smile
A crisp cola might pair well with your lunch, or feel refreshing during a cookout. What you should know is that when you drink too many soft drinks, your smile can suffer.

When you enjoy too much in your diet, your enamel will face more harm from oral bacteria, as several forms of oral bacteria on teeth release acids after they consume sugar. If you prefer diet beverages, you still face harm due to the high acidity of sodas, as they can soften your enamel over time. Your Allen, TX dental office can welcome you for routine dental exams, which are important to helping you keep your teeth in great shape. In between each visit, factors like your diet, and your oral care habits, will have a big influence on the condition of your oral health. (more…)
