So you have got a split tooth. You opt for a dental appointment.

Let's survey the course of action I would ordinarily follow and also contemplate the chief points in the healing process that may be of concern.

At the outset, I check your level of total oral hygiene. This is to see if you meet the requirements for a Downtown Vancouver dental crown placement. I will be able to tell if there is anything wrong with your gums. Healthy gums let me know that your jaw bones are in good shape as well. Having healthy jaw bones indicates that the root of your tooth, even if it is hurt, will be whole and secure in spite of everything.

Healthy gums don't bleed profusely. They don't ache when I nudge them.

Some dentists, who make a wrong qualification, will pursue putting on a dental crown without scrutinizing the shape of the jawbones. If such a miscalculation is made, then they damage the jaw itself. And the crown won't stay fixed to the jaw bones as long as it needs to.

After scrutinizing your oral position, I smooth out the edges of your damaged tooth. I might need to get rid of some of the enamel, so the crown will be suitably fixed to your tooth. Next, I will mount a dental crown that's temporary to keep your tooth from hypersensitivity.

If your nerve was wounded formerly prior to your dental appointment, then this could lead to tooth sensitivity. A root canal would be necessary in this case. This should be finished before prepping the tooth. So precise initial scrutiny of the tooth is desirable. X-rays help us steer clear of tooth withdrawal.

Although the nerve might not have been damaged, in the course of the dental visit, dentists can scour away too much of the outer tooth substance. If they bore into the dentine or the center of the tooth, then the nerve could easily become exposed. This will produce intense sensitivity.

You can feel absolutely free to get a second opinion after you visit my office. I am very attuned to your sensitivity, and want you to make the best decision for you.
