A cavity or even an almost-microscopic area of tooth damage can allow bacteria to infect the pulp of your tooth. That infection can be painful and lead to further oral and general health problems. If you find yourself dealing with a toothache or tooth sensitivity, your first call should be to Smile Loft Dental at Hillandale at 301-445-5821 for an appointment with our dentists. Dr. Kashyap Patel or Dr. Priya Patel can save your tooth and your smile with a root canal treatment in Silver Spring, Maryland.
