Any issue with your oral health is not something that you should take lightly. Problems that affect the inner structure of a tooth can be particularly tough to experience, and they can be difficult to ignore. When you have an advanced cavity, or when you experience internal problems after an injury, you can experience a potentially serious pain that does not subside, and you can also suffer from problems like swelling around the tooth, changes in its color, and more. Because the discomfort can be hard to ignore, we understand that patients sometimes need our help on short notice.
Endodontic treatments can address problems within your tooth structure, even when they are out of reach of root canal therapy. For many, a root canal can prove to be an effective solution, as the procedure removes bacteria and infected tissues from the pulp, the central chamber of your tooth. However, there are limits to how far this treatment can reach in order to serve you. At a general dental office, you may be left with nothing more than the option to have the tooth extracted when this is the case. However, at our practice, you can undergo oral surgery so that harder to access areas, such as the roots of a tooth, can be expertly tended to. For example, we can perform an apicoectomy, a procedure that leads to the careful removal of a root end.
Sometimes, the reason to visit your endodontist is to deal with serious external harm, as you can undergo work that provides needed structural support. In the event that you have a broken tooth that cannot support a crown, we can recommend that you undergo a Post And Core or Core Buildup. These services make it possible to stabilize a restoration, which allows you to preserve your tooth as well as your smile!
