Do I Need a Root Canal Roswell, GA

• Food is stuck in between your teeth or in between the ridges on the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
• You could have a cavity.
• Your tooth could have been chipped or cracked.
• You may be suffering from enamel erosion.

In these scenarios, we can treat the problem without needing to perform a root canal. For example, we can clean your teeth and remove any food particles causing discomfort. If you have a cavity, we can remove the decay and place a filling at our family dentist office. This is done quickly and is far less invasive than a root canal. Simultaneously, if your tooth is chipped or cracked, we can restore it using dental bonding or dental veneers. If you are dealing with erosion, you may need dental crowns to protect your teeth. We also restore teeth on a daily basis and have several ways of doing so.

At Marietta Roswell Dental Care we regularly ask patients about their pain and whether or not it is manageable. If it is only slight discomfort, you may be able to visit our Roswell dentist practice and have tooth decay removed. In many cases, a toothache is caused by a cavity that can be treated without the need for a root canal. However, we find that intense pain can often be due to an infection severe enough to warrant a root canal.
