After you have dental work performed, you should be free from any ongoing concerns about the tooth pain or sensitivity that made you concerned about your well-being. If that discomfort remains an issue, or if problems start again after a period of relief, it can point to the need for additional care. Fortunately, your El Paso, TX endodontist can provide an option for retreatment to identify and address the matter without making a tooth extraction necessary. Retreatment refers to a procedure done to determine why a tooth continues to present signs of poor health and proceeds to address the matter. By carefully revealing the pulp after your initial treatment and providing necessary care, we can help you make sure you are finally free from trouble with your smile!
A Dental Procedure Should Fully Resolve An Active Oral Health Threat
Typically, a restorative dental procedure can respond to the threat you face from an injury or cavity without the need for follow-up work. After removing damaged and infected tissues and restoring the tooth with a filling or crown, your general dentist can send you away without any lingering troubles. If your pain or sensitivity issues continue to make you uneasy, or if the tooth starts to hurt again, it can be a sign more work is needed. While retreatment can be performed to address concerns about dental work that did not fully respond to trouble, it can also be needed when a new problem affects a tooth that has gone through care in the past.
Arranging Retreatment To Ensure A Tooth Is Properly Cared For
By performing retreatment, we can make sure that your oral health needs are fully met. Accessing the pulp and carefully examining it will allow us to determine the source of the problem. Remaining infected tissues or untreated trauma may need to be addressed. After providing the necessary work to put the matter behind you, we can have you return to your general dentist to receive your restoration.
What Else Can You Count On An Endodontist To Do For You?
Sometimes, a root canal procedure will not be able to fully restore your oral health because the procedure does not reach an area that requires attention. Fortunately, this does not have to make a tooth extraction necessary. Instead, your endodontist can recommend oral surgery. While this is more involved than the kind of cavity care you have experienced before, it can ensure that your oral health troubles are completely resolved without making tooth loss and prosthetic treatment necessary!
