Once the natural bacteria in your mouth have afflicted a tooth with a cavity they will continue to exploit the available dental structure. Without professional treatment, severe tooth decay can cause a severe dental fracture or the total loss of a tooth.

In some of these cases, the tooth can be treated by performing a root canal with a dental crown restoration. If the tooth was severely compromised or a dangerous infection has formed in the gums, Dr. [doctor_name] might recommend extracting the remnants of the tooth from the socket. Once this is done [heshe] will likely provide you with a prescription for any necessary antibiotic or pain medication.

Once your gums have healed and any infection concerns have passed, Dr. [doctor_name] can start the process of restoring the tooth with a dental implant and a dental crown.
