Scheduling Advanced Dental Work To Address A Toothache

It may be difficult for a general dentist’s office to properly address the cause of your toothache. Persistent pain from a cavity or injury can often be treated through a standard root canal procedure, but the issue affecting your tooth’s health could be out of reach of this procedure. What happens if a root canal will not solve your problem? Is there still a way to restore your oral health without having your tooth extracted? At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility, we provide advanced services that restore teeth in vulnerable condition. Our services include oral surgery, which can be performed to access and resolve problems that are interfering with your oral health. We are also prepared to treat problems that arise with teeth that have undergone care in the past.

Treating An Aching Tooth Can Be More Difficult Than You Expect

While root canal therapy is often able to address problems that develop within a tooth, problems can arise that require more access than this procedure provides. A general dentist may need to refer you for treatment with an endodontist if this is the case, or they could recommend scheduling an extraction of your tooth. With extraction, you will have to go through the process of having the tooth safely removed as well as treatment to receive a permanent prosthetic. Our practice relies on advanced imaging technology to study your tooth closely and identify the source of trouble. Once the problem is found, we will be able to explain what treatment options exist to save the tooth and preserve your full smile!

We Offer Different Options For Advanced Dental Work

In addition to root canal therapy, we do provide different forms of oral surgery in order to access and resolve problems that are hard to access. One form of oral surgery that can be provided is an apicoectomy, which involves the removal and restoration of a root end. Through this procedure, we can deal with infection or physical damage that has interfered with your tooth’s well-being. We can also help if the difficulty in saving a tooth lies in placing a permanent restoration. Through Post And Core and Core Buildup treatments, we can provide more stability for a restoration, ensuring that it can remain in place and that your tooth does not need to be removed.

What If My Aching Tooth Has Been Worked On Already?

One issue that can complicate dental care is the return of, or the persistence of, pain after treatment has already occurred. In a situation like this, we can move forward with retreatment. This means that the tooth’s inner chamber (its pulp) will be accessed again to be reevaluated for possible causes of discomfort. Once the problem is recognized and treatment is performed, the tooth can be sealed again before you return to your dentist to have the tooth fully restored.
