On average, this comes out to over 41,000 root canal treatments per day.</p>\n<p>This common procedure is both safe and effective, leading to predictable results. In fact, it is usually more dangerous to leave a tooth untreated than it is to undergo a root canal treatment. Root canal treatments are only necessary once bacteria have begun to multiply inside the tooth, causing an infection or abscess. This may lead to bone loss around the tip of the tooth’s root; drainage problems extending from the root; and swelling in other areas of the face, head, or neck. Root canal treatments can stop these effects.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 the-truth-behind-root-canals v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"the-truth-behind-root-canals v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about root canals & safety\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The American Association of Endodontists (AAE) estimates that over 15 million of these procedures are performed in the United States every year.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 the-truth-behind-root-canals v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"the-truth-behind-root-canals v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about common myths about root canals\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"are-root-canals-painful\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Common Myths About Root Canals</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are many common myths about root canals that stop patients from seeing the endodontist. The <a title=\"Read more about Myths About Root Canals\" href=\"https://www.aae.org/patients/root-canal-treatment/myths-root-canals/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-The-Truth-Behind-Root-Canals\">main three misconceptions</a> are:\n<ol class=\"browser-default\">\n<li>It is painful to get a root canal.</li>\n<li>Getting a root canal will cause illness.</li>\n<li>Tooth extraction is better than root canal treatment.</li>\n</ol>\n</p>\n<p>While root canal treatment may have been painful in the past, modern technology and anesthetics have made the experience no more discomforting than getting a cavity filled. Root canal treatments also reverse toothaches by removing the source of infection or inflammation. Plus, endodontists are experts in pain management.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the claim that links root canal treatment to illness is based on an outdated and poorly designed research study that has long since been debunked. While some may claim that root canal treatment may make patients more likely to become ill or contract certain diseases in the future, there is no valid, scientific evidence supporting this theory.</p>\n<p>Finally, it is always best to save a natural tooth whenever possible. In most cases, this is safer, less painful, and more economical than a tooth extraction. Preserving a natural tooth lessens the risk of further infections, and, as mentioned, root canal treatments are typically not as painful as people believe. Many people also mistakenly believe that tooth extraction is the cheaper option. However, this is often untrue when considering the whole picture.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 the-truth-behind-root-canals v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"the-truth-behind-root-canals v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about common myths about root canals\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"While root canal treatment may have been painful in the past, modern technology and anesthetics have made the experience no more discomforting than getting a cavity filled.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 the-truth-behind-root-canals v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"the-truth-behind-root-canals v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our The Truth Behind Root Canals services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"the-truth-behind-root-canals-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for The Truth Behind Root Canals in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-The-Truth-Behind-Root-Canals\">The Truth Behind Root Canals in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS the-truth-behind-root-canals v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"the-truth-behind-root-canals v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about what to know about root canals\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"are-there-any-complications\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">What to Know About Root Canals</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Though root canal treatments are a safe and standard procedure, some complications may occasionally occur.

These include pain relief, stopping the spread of infection, curing dental decay, and preventing further damage to the tooth pulp. By preserving the tooth, root canal treatments prevent unnecessary tooth extraction and balance the patient’s bite. They also protect the surrounding teeth from infection and strain. When properly cared for, root canal treatment results can last for a lifetime.</p>\n<p>However, there are some possible disadvantages as well. Still, these are typically necessary trade-offs.

The doctor can address this by <a title=\"Read more about When Is A Root Canal Without Crown Protection Wise?\" href=\"https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/root-canals/when-is-a-root-canal-without-crown-protection-wise\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-The-Truth-Behind-Root-Canals\">capping the tooth</a> with a crown for added protection. Patients may also be at risk for discomfort, toothache, or reinfection. The doctor may also miss any hidden roots or canals, necessitating retreatment in the future.

During this procedure, the doctor opens up the tooth to access the interior, also known as the pulp. The doctor will then use a dental tool to scrape out any inflammation or infection. The tooth will then be filled and sealed before eventually being capped with a crown.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">When can I resume my daily activities after getting a root canal?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">You will likely be able to return to school, work, or any other daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, you will likely remain numb for two to four hours after the procedure. You should also avoid eating until this numbness has disappeared entirely.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are there any alternatives to getting a root canal?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">If root canal treatment is not suitable for you, you may need to undergo endodontic surgery. Otherwise, tooth extraction or natural tooth loss are the only alternatives. However, these often prove to be more costly, painful, and detrimental to the surrounding teeth in the long run.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is there anything I can do to avoid needing a root canal?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The easiest way to prevent needing a root canal is to prevent tooth decay. Keep up your oral hygiene by brushing at least twice daily with a fluoridated toothpaste, and rinse with a fluoridated mouthwash. Floss nightly, and eat a balanced diet.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Do I still need a root canal if my tooth is not bothering me?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Yes. Many people make the mistake of believing their infection has gone away because it suddenly stops hurting.

It can also happen subconsciously during the day, either due to stress or discomfort from misaligned teeth. One way to avoid this problem is to treat the underlying condition by learning techniques to relax and minimize stress.

Other factors that <a title=\"Read more about Pulling a Tooth (Tooth Extraction)\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/pulling-a-tooth-tooth-extraction#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Tooth-Extraction\">may necessitate tooth extraction</a> include overcrowding, infection, and risk of infection. Typically, tooth extraction for overcrowding occurs when preparing the mouth for braces. Braces are meant to realign the teeth, meaning teeth must have adequate space to move around. A tooth extraction may also occur as part of the orthodontic process if there are teeth that do not have enough room to erupt through the gum.</p>\r\n<p>Teeth may become infected when decay or damage extends to the pulp (the nerves and blood vessels at the center of the tooth). Root canal therapy is often enough to treat this problem. However, tooth infections may become severe enough to require extraction and prevent them from spreading any further. Patients who are immunocompromised may need to have teeth removed even if they are just at risk of infection.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 tooth-extraction v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"tooth-extraction v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about reasons for tooth extraction\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\" Teeth may require extraction if they have suffered damage beyond repair, either through trauma or decay.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 tooth-extraction v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"tooth-extraction v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about preparing for tooth extraction\"><!-- Section 2 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"prepare-for-my-tooth-extraction\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Preparing for Tooth Extraction</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>The <a title=\"Read more about How to prepare for a tooth extraction\" href=\"https://www.healthline.com/health/tooth-extraction#preparation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Tooth-Extraction\">first step to getting a tooth extraction</a> is an initial consultation. During this time, patients should go over their medical history with their dentist, along with any other treatments they have planned. They should also tell their doctor about any medications, vitamins, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs they are taking. To ensure the patient\'s health, our team will take X-rays before the extraction and prescribe the patient antibiotics beforehand if necessary. Patients may be prescribed antibiotics if they have an infection, a weakened immune system, or specific medical conditions. The doctor may also prescribe antibiotics for patients who will undergo particularly long procedures.</p>\r\n<p>Patients should wear loose, short-sleeved clothing on the day of the procedure. Additionally, they should refrain from eating or drinking for six to eight hours and refrain from smoking for 12 hours before their appointment. Patients should notify the office immediately if they have a cold, nausea, or vomiting, as this may necessitate rescheduling or use of a different form of anesthesia than initially planned. Those undergoing general anesthesia should make arrangements to have a trusted adult drive them to and from the procedure.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 tooth-extraction v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"tooth-extraction v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about preparing for tooth extraction\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"To ensure the patient\'s health, our team will take X-rays before the extraction and prescribe the patient antibiotics beforehand if necessary.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 tooth-extraction v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"tooth-extraction v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about what to expect during tooth extraction\"><!-- Section 3 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"during-a-tooth-extraction-procedure\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">What to Expect During Tooth Extraction</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>Before the procedure, the dentist will inject the patient with an anesthetic to numb the area from which they will be removing the tooth.

Additionally, our team will not recommend a treatment unless the benefits outweigh the risks. However, it is still important to be aware of potential complications. Typically, after a tooth extraction, a blood clot will form in the socket left behind. However, when this blood clot does not form or is prematurely dislodged, then the bone inside the socket may be exposed. This condition is known as \"dry socket.\"</p>\r\n<p>Symptoms include severe and radiating pain, visible bone, bad breath, and foul taste. We can treat this condition easily by putting a new, sedative dressing over the socket for a few days to allow a new clot to form. Additionally, patients should watch out for bleeding that lasts longer than 12 hours, chest pain, cough, nausea, severe fever and chills, shortness of breath, swelling and redness at the surgical site, and vomiting. If any of these symptoms occur, call our office immediately.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 tooth-extraction v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"tooth-extraction v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what to know before tooth extractions\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"We will not recommend a treatment unless the benefits outweigh the risks.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 tooth-extraction v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"tooth-extraction v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Tooth Extraction\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\r\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Will I be in pain after my tooth extraction?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\r\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Recovery and aftercare for tooth extractions vary on a case-by-case basis.

Enamel is the outer layer, which protects the inner layers of the tooth. The second layer is called the dentin, and it consists of tubules that act as a buffer between the enamel and the tooth’s innermost layer. The pulp is the last layer of the tooth and contains nerves and blood vessels that keep each tooth alive.</p>\n<p>Proper maintenance of teeth is essential for protecting the different teeth layers. Even minor untreated fractures can result in severe issues. A tooth fracture will damage the enamel and cause the other layers of the teeth to become increasingly susceptible to harm. Patients with a fractured tooth should contact us as quickly as possible to protect their oral health.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 types-of-dental-root-fractures v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about layers of the teeth\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The teeth consist of the enamel, dentin, and pulp.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 types-of-dental-root-fractures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about types of dental root fractures\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Types of Dental Root Fractures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>A tooth fracture occurs when there is a break in the hard shell of a tooth. Although the enamel acts as a shield against disease and bacteria, a fracture can compromise this protective layer. If a crack is deep enough, germs can penetrate the pulp cavity and cause an infection.</p>\n<p>There are several types of dental root fractures, including:\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li>Oblique subgingival fractures</li>\n<li>Oblique supragingival fractures</li>\n<li>Oblique root fractures</li>\n<li>Vertical apical fractures</li>\n<li>Vertical furcation fractures</li>\n<li>Vertical root fractures</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 types-of-dental-root-fractures v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about types of dental root fractures\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Although the enamel acts as a shield against disease and bacteria, a fracture can compromise this protective layer.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 types-of-dental-root-fractures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about oblique fractures\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"types-of-oblique-fractures\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Oblique Fractures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Subgingival Fractures</h3>\n<p>Oblique subgingival fractures extend below the gum line. The severity of the fracture depends on how far it has gone past the gum line. These fractures are usually painful as the fractured tooth usually remains in the gums after it breaks off. However, patients may have a subgingival fracture for years before feeling any pain.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Supragingival Fractures</h3>\n<p>This type of oblique fracture only affects the tooth’s crown and does not extend below the gum line. Usually, a supragingival fracture results in the affected part of the tooth breaking off. Patients typically experience little pain as the nerves and blood vessels of the pulp remain intact and undamaged. Although this fracture may not cause immediate pain, it can lead to infection or pain in the future without treatment.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Root Fractures</h3>\n<p>Oblique root fractures do not usually affect the surface of the tooth at all. The damage occurs below the gum line, particularly under the bone. While this classification of fracture is not visible, it is very painful. Patients with oblique root fractures may require root canal treatment or extraction, depending on how close the fracture is to the tooth fracture.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 types-of-dental-root-fractures v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about oblique fractures\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Oblique subgingival fractures extend below the gum line.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 types-of-dental-root-fractures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Types of Dental Root Fractures services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Types of Dental Root Fractures in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Types-of-Dental-Root-Fractures\">Types of Dental Root Fractures in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS types-of-dental-root-fractures v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about vertical fractures\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"types-of-vertical-fractures\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Vertical Fractures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Apical fractures</h3>\n<p>Vertical apical fractures occur at the apex or tip of the tooth root. Many patients with vertical apical fractures ask for extraction because of the severe pain it causes. The severe pain is a result of tooth fragments placing pressure on the bone. Root canal therapy can help alleviate the pain, but some cases may require tooth extraction. Patients can discuss the best treatment option with our dentist.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Furcation fractures</h3>\n<p>When the roots of a tooth separate, a vertical furcation fracture occurs. This type of fracture almost always affects the tooth’s nerves. Patients affected by this fracture experience pain and difficulty with simple tasks like eating and speaking. Root canal therapy and a crown can usually save teeth affected by vertical furcation fractures as the tooth does not generally split completely.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Root Fractures</h3>\n<p>A vertical root fracture happens when part of the tooth root breaks off. This type of damage is not common and usually occurs in teeth with endodontic treatment like root canal therapy. An apicoectomy may save the tooth if the vertical root fracture is short.

The goal of treatment is to protect the tooth and the pulp. Treatment options will depend on how severe the tooth damage is. Options include crowns, dental veneers, root canal treatment, tooth extraction, and removal of the tooth’s fractured portion. Patients can speak with our dentist about the best treatment option for their needs.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ types-of-dental-root-fractures v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"types-of-dental-root-fractures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

Dental bonding involves adhering tooth-colored composite material to the surface of badly stained, broken, or chipped teeth.

Over time, however, they may need to be adjusted or remade from normal wear. Dental professionals advise patients against fixing dentures themselves because they could damage the denture beyond repair.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">At University Dental Associates, we can help you with fixing dentures in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and dentures can get damaged. This may not only be uncomfortable but also cause injury to your mouth. We may be able to help.

The mouth and jaw change over time which can cause dentures to fit poorly. It is possible for improper fit to damage dentures, as misalignment may cause undue stress to the devices when the patient bites down.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, metal clasps, more common in dental bridges, can come loose or break off. Some dentures get damaged suddenly from an impact.

If dentures get dropped, it will soften the impact</li>\n<li>Use denture brushes and cleaning products approved by the ADA</li>\n<li>Soak dentures in a solution or jaw of water when not being worn. Otherwise, they run the risk of being dried out</li>\n<li>Refrain from using hot water to clean dentures. Hot or boiling water can warp dentures</li>\n<li>Clean your dentures every day. Patients should brush their gums, tongue, and palate to remove plaque before inserting dentures</li>\n<li>Use adhesive to help dentures remain stable in the mouth</li>\n<li>Get dentures adjusted when the fit seems off.

Trying to fix dentures yourself can only damage them further.

Make an appointment with a prosthodontist for repairs. If you cannot find the tooth, there is no need to panic. The denture lab that offers repairs will typically have replacement teeth.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What do I do if I damage my dentures?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Do not wear damaged dentures.

The bond will not hold well, and it is not safe to have these glues in your mouth.

They may also crack after being dropped onto a hard surface. Placing dentures in hot water can cause them to warp.
