It will not be necessary to perform a root canal when a cavity is caught and treated before an infection occurs. Once an infection does occur, this treatment will have to take place to restore your oral health. We use advanced imaging technology to study patients’ teeth before treatments. Because of this, we can closely examine you and confirm that we need to move forward with care. If the problem is more serious than anticipated, we can discuss other services that can help.
During a root canal, Dr. Endo can remove infected tissues and deal with the bacteria responsible for your troubles. Our teeth are not capable of fighting off an infection without help. If you let the problem go untreated, harmful microbes can keep doing harm, and they can eventually make their way through your roots to cause new issues. Fortunately, one a root canal procedure is complete, your pain can subside, and you no longer have to worry about the worsening effects of decay.
If problems are beyond the reach of a root canal, we can instead recommend oral surgery to deal with problems. We can perform an apicoectomy, a treatment where your dentist exposes a tooth’s roots, and moves through the tip of a root to clear out problems. Once this work is complete, we can provide a filling for the lost root end and ensure your tooth is protected. We also provide services to rebuild tooth structure after advanced treatment or injuries occur. This can make it safe to place a dental crown after a procedure when you lack natural tooth structure.
