Endodontic Care For A Dental Emergency

Dental injuries and persistent toothaches can call for a trip to an endodontic specialist. While your general dentist can offer support when you experience an oral health emergency, some problems can require dedicated attention. Omni Endodontics provides people in and around El Paso, TX access to services that address potentially significant tooth problems. In response to a dental emergency, we can evaluate you to find the source of your trouble, then recommend the appropriate services. Those services include oral surgery to save a tooth, or treatment to rebuild its structure so that it can support a restoration.

Serious Dental Problems Can Call For Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic services address internal tooth issues. This can sometimes mean root canal therapy, but there are times where other services are needed to fully address oral health issues. Without endodontic treatment, your only other option for restoring your oral health can be to have your tooth extracted. Unfortunately, this leaves you in a situation where you have to arrange an extraction and plan prosthetic dental work to regain your full smile. By bringing a problem to our attention, your endodontist can evaluate you to find the source of your tooth’s trouble, then resolve the matter and preserve your full smile!

Dental Injuries And Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy can restore a tooth’s health if internal damage occurs after an injury, when a cavity leads to infection, or when untreated damage leads to infection. Through this procedure, Dr. Endo can remove harmful bacteria and infected tissues from your pulp, the tooth’s central chamber. After this work is done, the pulp can be sealed to keep it safe, and you can return to your general dentist to receive a dental crown.

Oral Surgery Might Be Necessary To Save Your Tooth

During a root canal, we can treat problems within the central chamber of your tooth. However, you may need treatment for a portion of the structure that is beyond the reach of this procedure! If so, we can discuss the benefits of oral surgery. One common form of oral surgery is an apicoectomy. During this procedure, we access the tooth through its root to treat damage or an infection.
