Dental Insurance Benefits

The time of year is once again approaching when we need to take a look at our benefits package. Dental insurance brochures, like medical insurance brochures, are set up to make the benefits sound really good. However, the average customer may not fully understand what the insurance company may or may not be telling you.

If you are having trouble deciphering your dental insurance benefits, or choosing the options that best suit you and your family’s needs, please call our office so we can help you understand what your dental benefits consist of.

You can now become a fan of our Facebook site to keep up with the latest announcements and specials. Go to our website at www.DublinCalDentist.com and click on the Facebook logo.

What about Root Canals?

Every tooth consists of three different layers. The outermost and hardest layer is enamel, and the second layer is dentin. The third is pulp, which is the cavernous space where the live tissue and nerve of each tooth is located.

If for any reason the pulp space is exposed to the outside, the tissue becomes contaminated and eventually infected. The exposure of pulp happens in many circumstances, such as when you have a large cavity or a fractured tooth. Your dentist can explain the exact reason for damage to this tissue. In these cases, the treatment is usually root canal treatment.

Root canal treatment is the process of going inside the pulp space and removing the infected, dead tissue. The space is then disinfected and sealed with special materials. Nowadays, root canal treatments are performed with advanced techniques and materials, making them far more comfortable and faster. After root canal treatment is complete, your restorative dentist will usually place a crown on your tooth to safeguard against fracture.
