Even the most advanced implants or bridges cannot truly replace your natural tooth. For this reason, if you are experiencing dental pain or discomfort you should speak with a dentist or endodontist as soon as possible to discuss your options.<\/p>\n<p>If your dentist recommends extracting your tooth, ask whether an endodontist can help save the tooth with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/patients\/root-canal-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">root canal treatment<\/a>. This procedure involves removing the injured pulp (soft inner tissue) of your tooth, then filling and sealing the space.<\/p>\n<p>A dentist finishes the process by restoring your tooth with a crown or filling, enabling it to function as your natural teeth do, ensuring comfortable chewing and a natural appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Endodontists can often save even the most severely injured teeth, so it pays to learn more about your treatment options. Do everything possible to save your teeth before considering extraction \u2013 always the last resort!<\/p>\n<p>If an endodontic procedure can\u2019t save your tooth and it must be extracted, you should consider a dental implant that will enable you to bite and chew properly, keep healthy teeth from shifting, and help you maintain a natural appearance.
