Effective Care For Severe Cavity Issues

Cavities are often dealt with at general dentists’ offices, but not everyone who has trouble with dental decay requires a straightforward restorative procedure. If the trouble with your tooth is given time to worsen, it can lead to complications that result in infection, something that can cause significant discomfort and make you vulnerable to worsening problems for your smile. In response, you may be told that a tooth impacted by severe decay should be extracted. To respond to the problem and save your tooth, you can meet with your El Paso, TX endodontist to learn how your problem can be treated. With different advanced services, we can see to it that your problem is effectively cared for, and that you will be able to preserve your complete smile after going through treatment.

Why Your Cavity Might Require Care From A Specialist

It may be necessary for you to meet with an endodontist if you want to properly address decay and also preserve your full smile. What you gain from your appointment with a specialist is access to services that carefully tend to problems within the central chamber of a tooth, known as the pulp. When appropriate, we can even tend to problems that are affecting your roots! While this kind of work can be more involved, it allows you to restore your health without having to go through the experience of having a tooth extracted and then replaced with a prosthetic.

Different Treatment Options For An Unhealthy Tooth

There are different procedures that we provide when taking on a tooth that is in poor health. Through root canal therapy, we can access and treat infections in the pulp. When a cavity becomes painful and/or causes heightened tooth sensitivity, it can be a sign that bacteria have infiltrated this space and caused problems with the living tissues housed within. You can also come to us for retreatment if you have new issues with a tooth that has already been through this, or if you have had work done but still feel uncomfortable. In times when we need to access spaces that are difficult to reach even through a root canal, we can provide careful oral surgery to access and tend to problems with roots.

Dealing With Significant Damage To Your Tooth Structure

Sometimes, the problem with saving your tooth is that too much of the structure was damaged to safely support a crown. In these circumstances, we can offer a Post And Core or Core Buildup to make sure you can hold a restoration in position.
