Dentist Produced Conservative and Exquisite Composite Resin Restoration
John Gammichia, DMD, from A Soft Touch in Family Dental Care in Apopka, FL recently saw a 42-year-old female patient who presented with pain on the lower left side. She had some teeth extracted in the past and didn’t want to have that done again. She recognized that saving teeth could get expensive, so she asked Dr. Gammichia to try to create a treatment plan that would save the tooth and fit into her budget. She had a nerve that had been irreversibly affected by the caries, so there was no way around doing a root canal. Dr. Gammichia sent her to an endodontist and it was taken care of that day. After this patient was out of pain, she returned to Dr. Gammichia to have the tooth restored. The goal was to create a permanent restoration that would last decades.
