Endodontic and Periodontal Treatments

  • Root Canal Treatment

    A root canal in Sparwood may be recommended when the dental pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged. During Root Canal Therapy, the affected tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored to help preserve its function. In many cases, root canal treatment in Sparwood can help save the natural tooth and avoid extraction. A crown may also be recommended afterward to help strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
  • Gum Disease Treatment

    Periodontal disease develops when plaque and bacteria affect the gums and supporting tissues around the teeth. Early stages may involve gingivitis, while more advanced disease may progress to periodontitis. Depending on the condition of your gums, treatment may include professional cleaning, Deep Cleaning, or Scaling and Root Planing. Ongoing periodontal care can help manage inflammation, protect bone support, and reduce the risk of gum recession or tooth loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens if gum disease is left untreated?

    If periodontal disease continues to progress, it can damage the tissues and bone that support the teeth. This may lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and eventual tooth loss. Early assessment and gum disease treatment in Sparwood can help control inflammation and reduce the risk of more advanced complications.

  • What are the signs of an infected tooth?

    Signs of a tooth infection may include persistent pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness when biting, or a pimple-like area on the gums. A dental abscess may also develop in some cases. Because symptoms can vary, a dental examination is important to determine whether infected tooth treatment is needed.

  • Can a root canal save my tooth?

    Yes, Root Canal Therapy is designed to remove infected or damaged tissue while preserving the remaining natural tooth structure. Once the tooth is cleaned and sealed, it can be restored with a filling or crown. In many cases, this can help save an infected tooth and avoid the need for extraction.

  • What causes gum disease?

    Gum Disease commonly develops when plaque and bacteria build up around the teeth and gum line. If not removed through brushing, flossing, and professional care, the gums can become inflamed and develop Gingivitis. Without treatment, the condition may progress into Periodontitis and affect the tissues and bone supporting the teeth.

  • Can gum disease be reversed?

    Early gum disease, such as gingivitis, may often improve with better oral hygiene and professional care. More advanced periodontitis cannot usually be fully reversed, but it can often be managed with treatment and ongoing maintenance. Your dentist can assess the condition of your gums and recommend the appropriate level of care.
