If you have what you consider to be serious tooth pain, you should not delay treatment. This discomfort can point to a potentially serious problem with your oral health, one that will continue to grow worse until the appropriate care is provided. The good news is that in addition to stopping a worsening problem with your well-being, treatment can put a stop to this discomfort that you feel.
Root canal therapy is often necessary when a patient begins to experience problems with a painful toothache. This procedure removes bacteria and damaged tissues that are located within the pulp, or the inner chamber of the tooth. Dr. Endo can take care to identify the source of a problem, then address it by performing a root canal to deal with an injury or severe cavity. After this work is done, you can return to your general dentist for a restoration!
In some cases, it will be necessary to address problems that are out of a root canal procedure’s reach. When this is the case, we can review other treatment options. These options include an apicoectomy, a procedure where the end of a tooth’s root can be successfully removed and replaced with a filling.
What can you do if you continue to feel pain in your tooth after a treatment has already taken place? We have advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, that make it possible for us to find the source of trouble with a tooth that may have been overlooked. After a review, we can recommend retreatment to address problems with a tooth that may have formed after a procedure, or a problem that was not caught during your initial care.
