What kinds of problems make a tooth vulnerable to being lost? We can often experience serious oral health difficulties when teeth have internal issues. As a consequence of a severe cavity or injury, you can experience an infection or injury in your pulp, which houses the living tissues that support a tooth. In some cases, problems with their roots can create difficulties that are hard to address even through root canal therapy! In these circumstances, it can be important to seek input from someone other than your general dentist. When you do so, you can learn about more advanced endodontic services that tend to problems that are hard to access.
Root canal therapy is an endodontic procedure that can take care of a tooth impacted by severe decay or an internal injury. The procedure involves the accessing and treating of problems within the pulp so that you no longer have to worry about harm to living tissues or the spread of decay. For a patient who needs work done in a space that this procedure does not reach, we can instead perform careful oral surgery to tend to problems within the roots.
Sometimes, patients become concerned because they are experiencing new issues with a tooth that has already undergone a procedure. Whether you have symptoms that continue after your initial difficulty or need to look into care as symptoms reoccur, we can help! Through retreatment, we can access and tend to a tooth that is giving you continued or renewed trouble so that the matter is fully resolved.
Through the right endodontic treatment, it is often possible to save a tooth that appears to require an extraction. If you would like to learn more about what we can do for you, please contact Omni Endodontics in El Paso, TX by calling 915.990.3636!
