During a cleaning or routine examination, Ronald L Hinton D.D.S. P.C. will check the surfaces of your teeth. We’ll also take X-rays to get a better view of the enamel between your teeth.

If your mouth has any damage or decay that doesn't receive the proper attention, your tooth might need more extensive repair work. Your tooth could require a cap or crown if a large portion is affected. If the decay reaches the nerve of your tooth, a root canal is recommended to remove the damaged nerve. Schedule a dental cleaning to prevent decay.
