Root canal infections occur for a few reasons, including poor oral hygiene, lack of dental care, and oral injury. However, you can take steps to lower your risks for root canal infection in Avondale.
Lowering your risks for root canal infections also means you’re less likely to develop tooth decay or gingivitis.
Best Practices for Lowering Your Root Infection Risks
- Your Avondale dentists recommend the following steps for a healthy smile.
- See your dentist on schedule for checkups and teeth cleans, usually once or twice yearly.
- Brush your teeth after eating or at least twice daily, and floss at least once.
- Wear the proper mouthguard if you’re athletic and compete in contact or ball-oriented sports.
- Wear the proper nightguard if you grind and clench your teeth during sleep (bruxism).
- Report oral injuries or oral health changes to your West Auckland dentist.
