A poor oral hygiene condition in the mouth can cause tooth enamel demineralization. This, in turn, promotes the development of cavities and other oral health problems.
If you have a bad habit of putting off your regularly scheduled dental exams, an untreated area of tooth decay can continue to expand. In time, it could penetrate deep into the sensitive core structures of the tooth.
As this starts to happen you might notice a significant toothache. At the same time, the compromised structural integrity might cause a severe fracture or dental abscess complications that effectively lead to the total loss of the tooth.
If the remaining dental material is too severely distress for Dr. Khashayar Khomejany to treat the tooth with endodontic therapy, they might recommend a total extraction. This will extricate any remnants of the root before suturing the affected periodontal tissues.
Afterward, they might provide you with a prescription for antibiotics or pain management medication. This will help you remain comfortable while the periodontal tissues heal, while also reducing the chances of infection.
Once everything has fully healed Dr. Khashayar Khomejany might recommend replacing the tooth with a standard dental bridge. This single piece of dental work designed to replicate the original tooth. It will be fused to a pair of crowns capable of being anchored onto abutments prepared from the healthy cores of the two teeth neighboring the void.
An off-site dental lab will create the dental bridge then Dr. Khashayar Khomejany will cement it in place with a strong dental adhesive. This will complete the dental restoration process allowing you to enjoy the original function of the once compromised tooth.
