When Do You Need A Root Canal?

Ackley Dental Group, Emergency Dentistry, Patient Education

At Ackley Dental Group, we encourage our patients to visit our office for regular oral hygiene examinations and cleanings. Most patients should visit us every six months, with some requiring more frequent visits due to certain conditions. If we recommended a dental treatment during your last visit, it is important that you schedule your appointment in a timely fashion. Delaying dental treatment can significantly harm your oral health and cause you to need more extensive treatment. One treatment that can save your tooth is a root canal.
