When you crack, chip, or break a tooth, you become susceptible to bacterial infections, and that’s a major problem for any smile. You see, normally, your enamel serves as a barrier that blocks out these harmful microorganisms, but when it’s lost, you don’t have much to stop them from coming in. They can move through the more porous tissue called dentin underneath, eventually reaching the nerve within the root of the tooth. At that point, you might start to experience pain or discomfort. Bacterial infection requires a root canal treatment to correct, so don’t let your broken tooth stay that way for long.
With Dr. Robert M. Browne, DDS in Prairie Village, KS, you’ve got someone to look out for your smile. Our team is built to help you and yours stay safe, and we know that, sometimes, that means talking about restoration.
