While tooth loss is a potentially dangerous problem that countless dental patients face every year, you may be surprised to hear that many of those people might consider the idea of undergoing root canal therapy to save the affected pearly white a much scarier prospect. Over time, this procedure has earned a bad reputation despite its numerous benefits – but the truth is that with the help of today’s technology and anesthesia options, root canal therapy is no more painful than receiving a common filling. In fact, it can restore teeth that have become severely decayed or damaged from the threat of extraction and restore them to full functionality, keeping your smile whole and healthy for years to come. Here at Hill Avenue Dental, Drs. Clark and Clark are happy to provide root canal therapy to patients in Superior, WI and beyond. 
How do I know if I need root canal therapy? 

  • Here are some common symptoms:
  • Dental pain that occurs when chewing foods or applying any kind of pressure to a particular tooth
  • Gums that feel swollen or irritated
  • Discoloration (usually darker) of a tooth
  • Excessive sensitivity to cold or hot temperatures

It’s important to remember, though, that in some cases, symptoms will be mild or even nonexistent at first. That’s why it’s so important to let Drs. Clark and Clarkand their dedicated staff be your first line of defense against dental decay. If we discover during a check-up that root canal therapy is necessary, we can quickly make plans to administer treatment. During root canal therapy, we’ll access the inner chamber of the affected tooth and clean out the diseased pulp and bacteria before sealing the area shut to prevent further infection. Then, we’ll simply cap off the area with a brand-new, customized crown, and your smile will be restored to full health!

When asked to name conditions and injuries that can negatively affect your oral health, many patients come with all sorts of common culprits, from gum disease to common cavities to TMJ disorder. But have you ever stopped and thought about the threat of oral cancer? Although it’s not discussed as often in dental offices, the statistics surrounding oral cancer are staggering. For instance, one American on average dies every hour from the condition. Worse, half of the patients who are diagnosed with the condition won’t go on to last more than five years. While it’s true that a majority of the people affected by oral cancer commonly use tobacco and/or drink alcohol, a significant 25% of affected patients don’t participate in any known risk factors. Here at Hill Avenue Dental in Superior, WI, Drs. Clark and Clarktake the threat of oral cancer very seriously. That’s why we take the time to educate our patients about the common symptoms of signs of the condition. These include:

  • A sudden color change in the oral tissues.
  • White or red spots inside the mouth that are flat and painless.
  • A lump, thick area, or rough spot in the mouth.
  • Lingering pain, tenderness, or numbness that occurs on the lips or inside the mouth.

 During every six-month check-up you attend, our team will be sure to do a visual oral cancerscreening in order to catch any possible signs of this potentially destructive disease upfront. The good news is that if caught early, patients with oral cancer have a high chance of being treated successfully.
