In earlier days
when someone had a toothache, many times the aching tooth would automatically get pulled/extracted. Now with modern methods
such as root canal treatment most teeth can be saved. Patients experiencing pain
from teeth or sensitivity from hot or cold may require Root Canal Treatment. Dr. McIntyre utilizes the
most advanced and up to date techniques in performing root canal treatments.
Gum disease is a silent disease of the mouth that can go undiagnosed until it is too late resulting ultimately in
the loss of teeth. It is important to realize gum disease not only affects the gums, it also deteriorates the bone that supports
the teeth. During a patient's comprehensive exam, Dr. McIntyre and Dr. Speed not only check the health of the teeth; they
also check the health of the gums as well. It is important to Rainier Family Dentistry that our patients are aware of the
importance of an overall healthy mouth. Therefore, we normally recommend a minimal general cleaning of the teeth and gums
at least every six months. |
