Cracked Tooth

A cracked tooth is a problem because it reduces the strength of your tooth. When a cracked tooth is left alone, it could turn into a more serious problem. Plaque and tartar in the mouth are able to seep into the cracks and create decay and further damage. The problems can even move beyond the teeth to the gums and bone.

On its own, a cracked tooth is easier, quicker, and less expensive to fix than more extensive problems that could result from ignoring it. That’s why it’s smart to take care of this type of problem as soon as you or a dentist notices it.

Advances in general dentistry have created more options for repairing a cracked tooth. Our advanced techniques allow us to blend the color of the fixed tooth with your natural teeth for a seamless look.

If you think you have a cracked tooth, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive exam to determine the level of the damage and the best solution for you.

Root Canal Therapy

At Grand Blanc Dental Center, we are dedicated to helping those patients in need of root canal therapy.

When infection damages the pulp of the tooth your dentist or an endodontist may have to perform root canal therapy to save your tooth.

This treatment involves opening the tooth; removing the damaged pulp from the inside; and then disinfecting, shaping, filling and sealing the tooth. Depending on how much infection is present, you may be put on a medicine regimen prior to the procedure.

After root canal therapy, the tooth may need to be restored with a crown for protection. After that, the tooth will continue to function like your other natural teeth.

Endodontists are experienced in emergency pain control, and the root canal procedure itself is usually painless.

Our staff is specially trained to work with patients to manage pain, anxiety, and fear, and understand that doing so is an important part of the root canal therapy process. We want our patients to get back to being pain free and healthy as quickly as possible.

If you have any questions about root canal therapy, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (810) 694-0200.
