After a cavity is cleaned out, your tooth is ready for a restorative filling. Fillings can be created from a metallic material like amalgam or an assortment of white composite materials.
Most mouths are not large enough to fit wisdom teeth. By removing the wisdom teeth, the patient often feels more comfortable and has more room in their mouth for their other molars.
Root canal treatment is necessary when the nerve of the tooth becomes inflamed or diseased. During root canal treatment, the dentist or endodontist, removes the diseased nerve. The interior portion containing the nerve is then cleaned and sealed.
