Advanced dental decay and serious physical injuries can create internal problems for your tooth. To successfully address them, it becomes necessary for your treatment to access your pulp, the central chamber where living tissues are housed. A root canal procedure allows your endodontist the opportunity to access this space and provide the necessary care to address an infection or injury. From there, it can be sealed to keep further issues from occurring.
Before your treatment takes place, it is important for us to evaluate you and confirm that a root canal is what you need. Our advanced imaging technology lets us closely study teeth to use in determining how to proceed with care. After confirming what kind of support you need, we can work to carefully access your pulp and do the work required to stop problems with your health from worsening. Once this is done, you can return to your general dentist to have a dental crown put in place for lasting protection.
There are times when even a root canal will not give us the kind of access we need to successfully treat a tooth. While this can be unpleasant to hear, it does not mean that there is nothing we can do for you! Our options for smile support include more advanced services, including careful surgical procedures like apicoectomies. This means we can work on areas such as teeth roots when problems affect them, which means trouble can be addressed without the need for an extraction.
Through the scheduling of a root canal procedure, we can take on problems with your oral health that require internal care. If you have questions about this or any other procedure we provide at our practice, please contact Omni Endodontics in El Paso, TX by calling 915.990.3636!
