A cavity or injury can lead to internal problems, which means you will need treatment to occur in your pulp to stop your condition from worsening. It is possible for a problem to occur beyond the reach of a root canal. For example, physical injury can leave a portion of a tooth’s root cracked. When this occurs, we can perform a thorough diagnostic review to find the location of the problem, then we can move forward with the appropriate service to save your tooth from being lost!
Problems that affect portions of teeth below your gum line are difficult to reach, which can make it difficult for a traditional dentist’s office to address them. Our endodontic treatment facility is able to perform treatment in these areas to resolve an injury or infection that could make tooth loss necessary. One common procedure when oral surgery is needed is the apicoectomy, which will see your dentist remove your root end to perform treatment, then replace it with a filling.
A root canal procedure should fully restore your tooth. However, in some cases people continue to experience symptoms of an infection, or they may suffer problems with the same tooth at a later time. When this occurs, it can be necessary to perform retreatment. This involves work to access the pulp, find the cause of your continued trouble, and take care of it so that your tooth is restored again.
Our endodontic treatment facility in El Paso, TX is prepared to take care of a tooth that cannot be saved via root canal therapy. The sooner you act to find the source of a problem with a tooth, the sooner you can move forward with treatment to restore your oral health!
