Significant pain in your tooth, or a discomfort that refuses to subside, can be a problem that is hard to simply ignore. It can also be a warning that something serious is affecting the health of your tooth! In some cases, issues with infection or physical damage will be difficult for a general dentist to address. By visiting an endodontist to discuss your concerns, you can undergo treatment for issues that put you at risk for losing your tooth! At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility, we use advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, that let us look for small or hard to access issues that are responsible for your pain. Once an issue is identified, we can provide treatment to save your vulnerable tooth and stop your discomfort.
A Toothache Is A Problem That Should Concern You
A toothache can make your daily life more difficult, as it can interfere with your bite function and create a persistent distraction as you go about different tasks. When the pain is serious enough, it can effectively hijack your day. You should be aware that when a toothache becomes serious, or when the discomfort continues to affect you, it can be a warning that the tooth is in poor health. The problem responsible for your pain can worsen in time, leading to the health of that tooth deteriorating to the point that it cannot be saved.
Endodontic Procedures That Can Restore A Tooth’s Health
Restoring your tooth may call for work that addresses interior problems, or issues with its roots. If you are affected by an infection or internal injury, we can perform a root canal procedure to access your pulp and respond to your troubles. In a situation where a conventional root canal procedure does not give us access to your pulp, we may recommend oral surgery to work in areas that are more difficult to reach. One surgical procedure we may recommend is an apicoectomy, which will see a tooth’s root end carefully removed and restored with a small filling to return that tooth to good health.
What Should I Do If My Tooth Hurts After Recent Treatment?
Should you be worried if a tooth continues to hurt after past treatment, or if pain returns after a period of time? In these situations, retreatment can be necessary. A retreatment is performed when a tooth that has already undergone a root canal has to be cared for again. This will involve a careful accessing of the pulp, which had previously been sealed, so we can look for damage or an uncaught infection. After treatment, the tooth can be restored again to keep it safe.
