What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment (endodontics) is one of the areas of dentistry that Dr. Richard Bailey focuses on.  Root canal treatment usually involves the removal of the tooth's pulp, a small threadlike tissue that was important for the tooth development.  Once removed, it is replaced with materials that seal off the root canal from its supporting structures.  Years ago, diseased or injured teeth were often extracted.  Today, even if the pulp of one of your teeth becomes injured or infected, it often can be saved through root canal treatment.  This is the area of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases or injuries to the dental pulp.

Abscessed Tooth? Contact Bailey Family dental in Hartland WI

Treatment of an abscessed tooth

An abscessed tooth is an infection that has spread bacteria from the root of the tooth to the tissue just below or near the tooth.

In general, a tooth that has become abscessed is one whose underlying pulp (the tooths soft core) has become infected or swollen. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue, and lies within the tooth. It extends from the crown of the tooth, to the tip of the root, in the bone of the jaws.

An abscessed tooth can be an extremely painful condition.

In some cases, antibiotics are administered in an attempt to kill an infection. Antibiotics and root canal therapy could be used together to restore the tooth to a healthy state.

Cracked Tooth? Emergency Dentist Bailey Family Dental Hartland WI

Cracked Tooth

Cracked teeth show a variety of symptoms, including erratic pain when chewing, possibly with release of biting pressure, or pain when your tooth is exposed to temperature extremes.  It is sometimes difficult to determine the extent of a cracked tooth and early diagnosis is important if your tooth is fractured.  When a crack reaches the tooth root, root canal treatment is frequently needed to treat the injured pulp.  A crown will bind and protect the cracked tooth.  A cracked tooth that is not treated will progressively get worse, eventually resulting in the loss of the tooth.

Toothache Emergency Dentist in Hartland Bailey Family Dental

 Toothaches can be caused by a variety of reasons.  Hartland Dentist Bailey Family Dental has a few options for you to try.

Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue.

Broken, Fractured, or Displaced Tooth

A broken, fractured or displaced tooth is usually not a cause for alarm, as long as decisive, quick action is taken.

If the tooth has been knocked out, try to place the tooth back in its socket while waiting to see your dentist.

First, rinse the mouth of any blood or other debris and place a cold cloth or compress on the check near the injury. This will keep down swelling.

If you cannot locate the tooth back in its socket, hold the dislocated tooth by the crown - not the root. Next, place it in a container of warm milk, saline or the victim's own saliva and keep it in the solution until you arrive at the emergency room or dentist's office.

For a fractured tooth, it is best to rinse with warm water and again, apply a cold pack or compress. Ibuprofen may be used to help keep down swelling.

If the tooth fracture is minor, the tooth can be sanded or if necessary, restored by the dentist if the pulp is not severely damaged.

If a child's primary tooth has been loosened by an injury or an emerging permanent tooth, try getting the child to gently bite down on an apple or piece of caramel; in some cases, the tooth will easily separate from the gum.
