Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy, or endodontic treatment, is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. This can be from a have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, faulty fillings or crowns, trauma or a crack or chip in the tooth. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess. See more from the AAE.org

Root Canal Retreatment

There’s no need to be worried if your dentist or endodontist prescribes a root canal retreatment. In rare cases, root canal therapy fails to work as expected. The previously treated tooth might not heal properly or a patient might experience post-surgical complications that jeopardize the tooth. Root canal retreatment involves removal of the previous packing material, the cleansing of the root canals, and the re-packing of the tooth. In short, root canal retreatment is almost identical to the original procedure. See more from the AAE.org

Trauma Procedures

Traumatic dental injuries often occur as a result of an accident or sports injury. The majority of these injuries are minor – chipped teeth. It’s less common to dislodge your tooth or have it knocked completely out but these injuries are more severe. Treatment depends on the type, location and severity of each injury. Regardless of the extent of the injury, your tooth requires immediate examination by a dentist or an endodontist. Sometimes, your neighboring teeth suffer an additional, unnoticed injury that can only be detected by a thorough dental exam.

Endodontic Microsurgery

Generally, a root canal is all that is needed to save teeth with injured pulp from extraction. Occasionally, this non-surgical procedure will not be sufficient to heal the tooth and your endodontist will recommend surgery. See more from the AAE.org
