Different people will have different experiences with dental decay. For someone who regularly schedules preventive dental care, cavity issues can be caught before there are any oral health complications to worry over, minimizing the threat to their well-being. For someone else, an untreated cavity can remain unnoticed until they develop an alarming infection. At this point, endodontic treatment – treatment to address problems within the tooth structure – can be necessary. Without this support, the only other treatment option can be to simply extract the tooth, which means you have to go through the process of having it removed and replaced to regain your complete, healthy smile.
Through a meeting with your endodontist, you can learn about treatment options that are available to you if you have an advanced cavity. We can determine if you need root canal therapy, or if a more advanced procedure might be necessary. Because we have advanced imaging technology to use when evaluating your problem tooth, we can capture detailed information so that we can recommend the right procedure.
If you start to think that something might be wrong with your tooth, you should act quickly to schedule treatment. Doing so reduces the time that you have to spend in pain, and it can help you avoid the most involved treatment options. Take persistent or serious pain seriously when you have these feelings. If you have concerns about swelling, or a tooth seems to have changed its color, you should also consider these signs of trouble that should be addressed.
By visiting your El Paso, TX endodontist to discuss a possible problem with a severe cavity, you can learn about treatment options that can address the problem without making it necessary to extract your tooth. To find out more, contact Omni Endodontics in El Paso, TX by calling 915.990.3636!
