An infected tooth needs attention, otherwise your pain could increase and you could risk tooth loss and the spread of infection to other parts of your smile. We can help with root canal treatments, and to ensure care with precision, we can use advanced technology. In today’s blog, Omni Endo talks about treating infection with advanced technology in El Paso, TX.
When You Need a Root Canal
When should you see our team of endodontic experts for treatment? If a tooth begins to hurt on a regular basis, this could indicate severe decay or possibly infection. If this is accompanied by swelling, a discharge from the tooth, or pain in the jaw and face, then you definitely need an appointment. Otherwise, infection can grow in severity and spread to other teeth. Your tooth could become lost, or require extraction to safeguard the health of your teeth and the jawbone itself. Our team offers root canals for most infections, surgery for complicated cases located in the tooth root tips, and even retreatment if a tooth treated previously at another office begins to hurt again. But to ensure care with precision and comfort, we will plan and guide the process with the latest in digital imaging.
Digital X-Rays and CBCT Imagery
Our team employs imaging technology to help plan the process. Our team can use microscopes to look closely at the teeth and the roots. We also use digital x-rays to look inside the tooth and assess the cause, severity, and position of the infection. Instead of a traditional option, we use one that doesn’t need harsh chemicals to develop, and that means no lengthy wait too. So, you enjoy less time in the chair! The images are gathered quickly and easily, no need for bitewings. The process uses 90% less radiation too! The images are available right away on a chairside monitor, so we can walk you through the process and discuss treatment options.
Our team also offers Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, or CBCT imaging. With this option, we quickly and comfortably obtain a high-definition picture of your smile as a whole. The system will take multiple digital x-rays from all angles, and combine them to craft a detailed impression of your bite, which makes planning and implementing treatment much easier and more precise!
