Scheduling A Root Canal For A Dental Injury

When people think about oral health problems that call for treatment, they often think about cavities. While a good routine can protect you from this problem, decay is a common threat. However, it is not the only source of oral health trouble that can lead to problems within your tooth structure that call for endodontic treatment. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can help you deal with a serious injury that causes internal tooth damage. We use advanced imaging technology to evaluate problems and determine treatment options. With the right service, we can restore a vulnerable tooth’s health by dealing with internal issues, and we can also help rebuild tooth structure to support a crown!

Root Canals Can Address More Than Just Cavities

Root canal therapy is often performed when patients have advanced cavities that need to be treated. However, this procedure provides other benefits. For example, we can recommend it if your tooth is physically injured. Physical trauma can lead to an infection by exposing your pulp, or by causing internal harm that must be addressed. After an accident, a trip to meet with your periodontist can lead to a detailed evaluation and procedure to stop a problem and save your tooth!

Scheduling Your Root Canal

Root canal therapy addresses problems in your pulp, a tooth’s central chamber containing living tissues. As part of treatment for dental trauma, we can recommend this service to resolve internal trauma, or if you develop an infection after an injury. Once bacteria and damaged tissues have been removed, the pulp is sealed to protect you from further difficulties. When your work is complete, you can return to your dentist to receive a crown to protect it.

If an injury causes damage that cannot be treated with root canal therapy, oral surgery can be necessary in order to save the tooth and stop an extraction. We can perform a treatment that carefully reveals a portion of your tooth out of a root canal treatment’s reach to take care of the problem and prevent tooth loss!

Arranging The Restoration Of Your Tooth To Support A Crown

Damage to your crown – the portion of your tooth above the gum line – can make treatment difficult. Simply put, there may be so much damage that you simply lack the ability to support a restoration. To save your tooth, we can perform a Post And Core or Core Buildup to make sure there is support for your crown.
