Why do I need a crown after a root canal?

March 21, 2017

Dental Crown after Root Canal

By Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson

Why may a dental crown be needed after a root canal?  Well let’s start by talking about root canals.  A root canal may be necessary when your tooth decay has reached the inner pulp or root of your tooth.  The infection may be extremely painful or you may not even know the decay has spread to the root.  Removing the tooth decay and infection is essential to preventing the spread of the infection to surrounding gum and bone tissue.

When a root canal is necessary, your dentist will use a drill or a laser to take out the decayed enamel, dentin, and the pulp to ensure all of the infected tooth is gone.  Depending on how much of the natural tooth structure must be removed, and other factors, will often determine whether a dental crown is needed after a root canal.  Generally, when large decay is present, the tooth has been significantly weakened, and when the tooth regularly experiences a lot of pressure (think back molar tooth), a dental crown may be appropriate to restore function.

You may have heard your dental hygienist calling out numbers during your last cleaning appointment.. “2-3-2” “4-3-3” “5-6-4”.  If your dental hygienist didn’t explain the procedure to you, this is called Periodontal Probing and Charting or Periodontal Measurements.  Periodontal Probing and Charting is one of the hygienist’s most important tools for determining the condition of your gums, what type of cleaning you need, and measuring the success of the treatment on subsequent appointments.

Tooth Sensitivity – Dr. Jorgenson explains it all!

Costa Mesa Dentist Talks Tooth Sensitivity

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Do you experience an occasional zing throughout the day?  Sensitivity to hot and cold?  Or constant dull, achy pain?  These are all signs you are suffering from tooth sensitivity.  Tooth sensitivity can be very unpleasant and also be a sign of a more serious dental condition.  If you’re experiencing tooth pain, Orange County Dentist Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson can help!

Tooth Sensitivity causing Dental Pain

Tooth Sensitivity causing Dental Pain

Tooth sensitivity can come in many forms and from many causes.  You can simply be sipping in air, taking a bit of your lunch, or trying to concentrate at work and you notice that something doesn’t feel right.  Tooth sensitivity, also called dentin hypersensitivity, can occur when the outer layers of the tooth, the enamel and cementum, become thin and expose the dentin layer underneath.  When dentin is exposed, the tooth root and nerve are closer to the surface and more likely to become irritated.

Invisalign – The CLEAR Choice

Whether you’re 4, 40, or 400, it’s always the right time to get a healthier smile with Invisalign!  Good dental hygiene habits are essential to maintaining good oral health, but sometimes there is more you can do! Invisalign not only improves the LOOK of your smile, but also improve the HEALTH of your smile!  When your teeth are misaligned, you aren’t able to brush and floss to your full potential.  You could also be experiencing TMJ or other damage as a result of the alignment of your bite.Invisalign Dentist Costa Mesa

When you brush and floss, you aim to remove the tartar and plaque that builds up on your teeth and cause decay.  This is why RDH Lisa Thurm stresses the importance of flossing twice a day!  If your teeth are not straight, it makes accessing those hard to reach areas even harder.  Invisalign, clear braces, can quickly and easily straighten teeth so you can reach your full health potential.

Understanding Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB)

Costa Mesa Dentist talks understanding your explanation of benefits (EOB)

Delta Dental Sample EOB

 

We accept all PPO insurances at Advanced Dental Care!  If you are using dental insurance at your dental visits, you will receive an Explanation of Benefits or EOB either by mail or email shortly after your visit.  EOBs can be confusing, because they look a lot like invoices (and nobody likes invoices!).  An EOB is provided to patients covered by insurance to explain what services were rendered by a provider and what the insurance company paid for on behalf of the patient.

Learning how to read EOBs is very useful to making sure you are aware of what your insurance company covers for you and instances where they did not pay for a service.  A standard dental EOB will have the subscriber’s name, the patient’s name, your member ID, and the claim number.  It is important to make sure that your information is correct so there are no mix-ups with another patient.
