Endodontic Treatments
Here are some common types of endodontic dental care services:
- Root Canal Treatment: carefully removes the pulp inside the tooth, cleans, disinfects and shapes the root canals, and places a filling to seal the space.
- Root Canal Re-treatment: involves the removal of the previous crown and packing material, the cleansing of the root canals, and the re-packing and re-crowning of the tooth.
- Root End Surgery / Apicoectomy: an apicoectomy is also known as root end surgery. This is because it involves the removal of a tooth's root tip and surrounding tissue.
- Endodontic surgery: can be used to locate small fractures or hidden canals previously undetected on X-rays during the initial treatment.
- Traumatic dental injuries: chipped or fractured tooth’s crown can be repaired either by reattaching the broken piece or by putting a tooth-colored filling in place. If a significant part of your tooth crown is broken off, an artificial crown or “cap” may be needed to restore it.
- Abscessed tooth: The abscess must be drained. A root canal or antibiotics may be needed. Sometimes, the tooth needs to be pulled.
