Our Services Go Beyond Root Canal Treatment

If a problem with tooth decay is caught in time, you can undergo a successful treatment that does not call for endodontic work. This means a relatively conservative procedure is all that you need to have your cavity restored. In cases where damage to your enamel leads to an infection, a root canal treatment will be called for, though in some cases even this service is not able to fully address the trouble with your dental health. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we can make sure that the right care is provided to restore and save your tooth. That can often mean planning root canals for patients, but if necessary, we can recommend more involved support, even oral surgery, to make sure your full smile is preserved.

Will A Root Canal Really Make It Possible To Save Your Tooth?

There are often situations where root canal treatment needs to take place to restore a tooth’s health. A cavity that goes untreated for a period of time will grow more severe, and it will eventually lead to the accumulation of bacteria within your pulp. At this point, a root canal will provide support by removing bacteria and infected tissues from your pulp, which stops the progress of an infection and restores your tooth’s health. While this is often the recommended treatment for an advanced cavity, problems that continue to worsen can require attention in areas even this procedure can fail to effectively reach. Instead of moving forward with having your tooth extracted and replaced, you can seek endodontic services to determine what your options are for treatment to preserve your full smile!

The Importance Of The Right Evaluation Before Treatment

With our advanced imaging technology, we can determine the source of a problem with your tooth, and from there we can determine what kind of service you require. If problems are out of the reach of a root canal, we can discuss other services, including oral surgery, to make sure the matter is properly addressed. For example, we can actually tend to a problem at the ends of teeth roots by performing apicoectomies. An apicoectomy will see your endodontist carefully reveal the affected area so that the root end can be removed and replaced.

What If I Have Problems With A Tooth That Has Already Undergone Treatment?

If you have problems with a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment in the past, we can help. During retreatment, Dr. Endo can access your pulp to identify and resolve any lingering problems with an infection, or tend to a new issue that has arisen.
