Our endodontic treatment options include the following:
- Root Canal Therapy – Once a tooth is heavily infected or inflamed in its pulp, a root canal treatment is the best choice. The tooth should be cleaned of bacteria and sealed to prevent reinfection. Our dentists removes the diseased or damaged pulp and carefully cleans out the area. After that, the hole is disinfected to kill bacteria and germs. Gutta-percha material fills the canals and seals the tooth. The dentist may fit a crown for extra protection.
- Endodontic Retreatment – After the first root canal procedure, your tooth may develop issues again. Our endodontist may consider doing a retreatment. The procedure involves taking out the filling material used initially in the previous root canal procedure. The dentist removes the infection, cleans the canals, and reshapes them. A new filling is then placed. A provisional filling is applied to help seal the opening when the tooth is healing.
