Cavities treatment – Fillings or root canal therapy?
Cavities are uncomfortable and if left untreated, they could lead to tooth loss. So, which is the better treatment between fillings or root canal therapy?
Key takeaways:
– You only need a filling if the cavity is painless and hasn’t eaten into the third layer of the tooth.
– A root canal is necessary if you are experiencing pain or the cavity has a crack.
– Discolouration, sensitive teeth and bad odour could be a sign that the nerve tissue is dead, which requires root canal therapy.
– A root canal procedure will end the intense pain.
Visit the dentist regularly for checkups and cleaning.
