Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The primary purpose of Endodontic Therapy is to retain teeth that would otherwise have to be removed due to injury to the dental pulp. It is better -- and less expensive -- to retain your tooth when possible. There are many disadvantages of tooth loss. When a tooth is removed and not replaced, the teeth surrounding the empty space often begin to shift out of alignment. This creates more problems and could result in the loss of more teeth. Therefore, you should have an artificial tooth (bridge or dental implant) put in the place of the removed natural tooth. The cost of the prosthesis is usually more than the cost of Endodontic Therapy and often involves dental work on adjacent teeth. If a tooth is not replaced, your chewing efficiency is decreased and your appearance can also be affected. A healthy natural tooth is always better than an artificial one. Root canal treatment makes it possible to retain a tooth that would otherwise have to be removed.
