There are a few different reasons as to why you need to have restorative dentistry. Physical trauma can break or chip a tooth, and leave the interior fleshy portion exposed to the open air. This can sometimes lead to an additional concern, which is that of bacterial infection.
When outside organisms can reach within our teeth, they can do a lot of damage. Not only that, but this infection can be highly painful. These situations are best handled as early as possible, and ignoring your concern most likely only lets it get worse. But once these bacteria have taken hold, you might require a root canal surgery. While such a procedure is incredibly helpful at alleviating this pain and correcting the issue, we would prefer to correct this before it gets to that point.
