Dental Retreatment Can Address Problems After A Root Canal
When advanced tooth decay or a dental injury creates an internal problem for a tooth, root canal therapy is performed to address the matter. This procedure will see your El Paso, TX dentist remove infected and damaged tissues as well as bacteria present in your pulp, the tooth’s central chamber, before the space is sealed and secured by a custom dental crown. This is often all that it takes to fully restore the health of the tooth. However, there are some circumstances where restorative dental treatment might be needed after root canal therapy has already been performed. This can be to address an issue with infection that was not fully resolved in the first procedure, or to address a new injury. If necessary, we can perform dental retreatment for a tooth in this situation in order to fully resolve the issue. (more…)
Properly Responding To Issues With Tooth Pain
If you are suffering from tooth pain, but have no clear idea of what is causing your discomfort, it can be hard to keep out some anxious thoughts. Just how serious is the problem, and what will the appropriate restorative dental treatment involve? Is it already too late to save a tooth, meaning your dentist will have to extract it? Problems with prolonged pain and sensitivity should be taken seriously, because the cause could be a serious oral health concern. If your tooth is infected, bacteria can begin to travel through the roots of your tooth to spread to new areas. Fortunately, when an infection is caught in time, the tooth’s health can be restored through root canal treatment and the placement of a dental crown. Our El Paso, TX dentist’s office has experience restoring teeth in poor condition. After an evaluation, we can find the most conservative solution to your problem and put a stop to your struggles with pain! (more…)
