Even if you aren’t in much pain, any structural damage to a tooth, from any kind of insult should be treated as an emergency. Chips or fractures can affect the living tissue inside the tooth, causing future problems. The same can be true for a lost filling or crown. Even if you don’t have any symptoms, the tooth has lost its support and it could easily become weaker. Pieces could break off or crumble, and you would need more extensive treatment.
Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.

Digital x-rays are used to produce extremely detailed three dimensional images of your teeth, and adjoining oral structures. Unlike traditional x-rays, they require no chemical processing and significantly less radiation exposure compared to traditional imaging.
Panoramic dental x-rays are used to create a two dimensional image of the entire head and neck structures. The image is a flat representation of the jaw's curved structure including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, temporomandibular (TMJ) joints, the nasal and sinus areas and the base of the skull.
