The vulnerable condition of your tooth after a physical injury can affect your smile and your health. The structural damage can be significant, but you also need to be concerned with injuries that affect harder to reach parts of the tooth. When these issues occur, a general practice may find that they need to recommend an extraction of the tooth in order to stop further problems like the spread of bacteria. While this can resolve a problem, it requires both the extraction and plans to place a permanent restoration. Of course, it also means having to lose one of your natural teeth, which can certainly be a concern! Fortunately, there are endodontic services that can treat difficult problems and resolve a dental emergency without the need to resort to a tooth’s removal.
By using advanced imaging technology to study your tooth, Dr. Endo can find the source of trouble even when it is difficult to observe, and he can make sure all issues with a tooth’s health are identified so that they can be treated. The right evaluation is an important step in providing the appropriate restorative work. What your review could find is that you need work done to restore a problem with a tooth’s roots, something that can be difficult to address even through root canal therapy. In response to this, our practice can recommend oral surgery to resolve the matter.
Sometimes, the concern about saving a tooth is not that the problem is hard to reach, but that you have significant structural damage that will affect the placement of a restoration. To address this, we can determine if you could benefit from a Post And Core or Core Buildup. These services add to the structure of a tooth and make sure that you can have less difficulty supporting a restoration that will preserve your smile and dental function.
