A sore or sensitive tooth can be much more than just a momentary nuisance. If the discomfort is severe, or if you have pain that is not going away, it can be a sign that your tooth is infected. An infection or internal injury is serious enough to put you at risk for losing a tooth, and it can cause complications that create further problems. At a general dentist’s office, the only treatment option provided may be to extract the tooth if the problem is too serious. However, you can meet with an endodontist to discuss restoring the tooth and preserving your full smile.
Endodontic services take care of hard-to-reach problems, with a focus on treating internal issues. Through root canal therapy, we can deal with damage or an infection in your pulp. This work stops a worsening problem before further complications can affect you. We use advanced imaging technology to evaluate the tooth and see what we can do to restore it. After identifying the source of your trouble, Dr. Endo can take the necessary steps to stop a problem from causing any further trouble. We can even provide retreatment for a tooth that has undergone treatment in the past.
In some cases, oral surgery is needed to address a problem with a tooth. One approach that can help is an apicoectomy, a procedure that will see your tooth’s root end removed and replaced with a filling to provide protection. This work can tend to a problem in an area that is difficult to reach; by performing this procedure, we can resolve trouble and save a tooth that would need to be removed otherwise.
Tooth pain is not something that you should take lightly. If it continues to bother you, it can be a sign that something serious is wrong and needs to be addressed. Our El Paso endodontic treatment office provides advanced services capable of saving vulnerable teeth. In other words, we can both find out what is wrong with your tooth and take the necessary steps to restore your oral health without resorting to an extraction.
