Your dental health should be checked on regularly at routine exams and cleanings. At times when there are problems, they can often—but not always—be treated effectively by a general dentist. In some circumstances, the right care can call for a visit with a specialist. Your El Paso, TX endodontist can take on a more serious issue with your oral health while focusing on treatments that let you preserve your full smile. Whether you need to take on an issue with an infection or injury, we can provide care even when oral surgery is required. We can also help when you have a problem with a tooth that has already been through treatment but requires further care.

Should I Discuss My Oral Health Issue With A Specialist?

By visiting with an endodontist to discuss a problem with your tooth, you can learn about treatment options that address potentially serious threats without making an extraction necessary. By making sure your tooth can remain in place, you can ultimately limit the amount of work needed to restore your smile, as you will not have to proceed with both the removal of an unhealthy tooth and its replacement with a prosthetic. Because we offer more options for accessing and treating teeth in poor condition, we are able to help at times when a general dentist recommends that you have a vulnerable tooth replaced.

Planning Treatment For Advanced Tooth Decay

Whether you require a root canal procedure or a more involved service, such as an apicoectomy, we can provide relief from an active threat to your smile. Advanced cavities and physical trauma can lead to internal issues, and even to problems that affect the roots of a tooth. We can determine what is happening with your tooth and how we can help by using advanced diagnostic imaging to evaluate it. From there, we can offer the right care to make sure it is put behind you.

Dealing With Problems That Arise After Previous Care

There are times when patients become concerned because teeth that were previously treated continue to hurt or begin to feel painful again after a period of comfort. In these situations, we can determine if retreatment is necessary. Retreatment can find problems with infected tissues that were previously not removed, and it can help when a new infection forms after past dental work.
