A persistent pain, or a significant amount of discomfort, can occur when you have an untreated problem with an advanced cavity or physical injury. While an infection is often treatable through root canal therapy, it is possible for a problem to occur that is out of reach for this procedure. With the advanced imaging technology at our office, Dr. Endo can carefully examine you to find the source of your trouble, then recommend a service to save the tooth. Without endodontic treatment, your only option can be an extraction, a process that puts you through the permanent loss of a tooth and the need to arrange prosthetic treatment.
In addition to performing root canals at our practice, we can address problems that can be out of reach without oral surgery. An apicoectomy is a procedure that sees your endodontist carefully reveals portions of the tooth normally covered by soft tissues and bone. We can carefully remove a root end, then replace it with a filling for protection, and to prevent further issues with an infection. This is an advanced treatment, one that we perform while using advanced technology, including ultrasonic tools, fiber optic lights, and microscopes, to thoroughly plan out the different steps of your care.
Is your pain occurring even after you sought treatment for a cavity or injury? If so, it can be a sign that there are still damaged or infected tissues that need to be treated. If this occurs, or if new problems arise after a past root canal, we can perform retreatment. Through retreatment, we reveal a patient’s sealed pulp, tend to the needs of their tooth, then prepare them to have their dentist cap their tooth with a restoration.
Tooth pain is a hard problem to ignore, and a potentially serious oral health concern. Fortunately, endodontic treatment can address even those hard-to-reach portions of a tooth to fully restore your dental well-being!
