Visiting An Endodontist To Address A Dental Emergency

If you have a dental emergency, finding the right treatment may mean visiting an endodontist for urgent care. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we are prepared to perform root canal therapy to address internal damages. We are also capable of providing oral surgery when necessary to repair areas of your tooth structure that are out of the reach of traditional dental services. In some cases, we can even do work to rebuild a tooth enough to make its restoration possible. Hopefully, you will never have to seek out the service of a dentist or endodontic specialist for an emergency. However, knowing to reach out to someone capable of providing targeted care can lead to a better experience after an injury.

Dental Injuries Can Lead To Internal Problems

Physical damage can lead to internal tooth problems in several ways. One issue you have to worry about is exposure. If your enamel is cracked or broken, it can expose the inner chamber of the tooth – the pulp – to a bacterial infection. Even if there is no clear sign of damage, the impact could cause internal damage that has to be addressed. We can use advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, to identify all signs of damage affecting a tooth. With this information gathered, we can determine what must be done to make sure your issue is fully resolved.

Scheduling Treatment With Your Endodontist

At your endodontist’s office, you can undergo a thorough evaluation to see what condition the tooth is in before treatment. This review can tell us if a traditional root canal procedure is appropriate, or if we might need to perform oral surgery to work on a portion of the tooth that is more difficult to access. If your injury affects a tooth’s root, we may need to perform an apicoectomy, or root-end recession, to deal with the harm done.

We Can Help Save And Restore A Badly Damaged Tooth

Even if a tooth is still in place, it may be damaged so badly that there is just not a way to equip it with a dental crown. Does this mean that the tooth must be extracted? Our practice has experience providing post and cores and core buildup procedures. These services add support to a badly broken tooth, which can then allow for the placement of a crown. Providing this service can remove the need for an extraction and the placement of a dental prosthetic!
