Unfortunately, you personally can’t do anything to avoid getting a root canal after a filling. It depends how deep the decay was and how close to the nerve it was. That will determine if it needs a root canal or not. In the future, good oral hygiene, and regularly seeing your dentist, will help avoid root canals. Filling cavities when they are detected early on, helps prevent the need for root canals as well!
Can I use an electric toothbrush on a dental bridge?
Absolutely! Electric toothbrushes are great and can be used on all teeth, crowns, bridges, veneers, implants etc.
Which crown is best for implants?
Great question! It’s totally case dependent though based on your bite, area of mouth, space for the crown and aesthetics.
Do electric toothbrushes loosen implants?
No!!!! if an implant crown is loose that means something else is wrong with it. Floss or brushing will not loosen any implant crown or traditional crowns or veneers.

Does a deep cavity require a root canal?

Hi. Great question! It depends how deep the cavity was, and how close it was to the nerve. If the decay was close to the nerve, it would have eventually become infected and needed a root canal anyway, but when prepping a cavity close to the nerve, it can essentially expedite the need for the root canal. Essentially, it would have needed a root canal anyway in the near future, but you wouldn’t haven’t know until it became infected.
