Root Canal Therapy Can Save Your Tooth
Tooth decay can extend into the pulp of the tooth. The infection or inflammation in the pulp can spread to the tissues around the root of the tooth. This can cause pain and swelling, but bacteria from the disease can damage the bone that holds the tooth in your jaw even if there is no pain. If not treated, tooth decay can cause an abscess and serious infections.
Without a root canal, the infection and damage will continue, and your tooth most likely will need to be removed.

Periodontal disease is also known as gum disease. Periodontal Disease is an infection and inflammation that effects the tissues and bone that support your teeth.
When your gums are healthy, your gum tissues tightly hug each of your teeth. When you have gum disease, your gums pull away from your teeth. As the gum disease gets worse, the tissues and bones that support your teeth are damaged.
Over time, your teeth may fall out or need to be removed. Treating gum disease in the very early stages is very important and can help prevent tooth loss.
Gum Disease and Whole-Body Health Gum disease has been linked to other diseases. Gum Disease is common among people with either diabetes or heart disease. Strokes and high stress also may be related to gum disease.
