Dental pain can sometimes linger even after treatment, especially when it comes to infections deep within a tooth. If you’ve undergone a root canal but still experience pain or swelling, you might feel as if extraction is the only solution.
However, there’s another option that targets the infection at its source: an apicoectomy. Call 651-370-9498 to schedule an appointment at River Valley Endodontics in Stillwater, MN.
Pain Can Persist
Toothaches can be relentless, often stemming from deep-rooted infections that even root canals can’t fully resolve. If you’ve already undergone a root canal and the discomfort persists, it may feel like there are few options left, and the thought of losing your tooth looms large. Persistent pain, swelling, or infection around the tooth root can indicate that harmful bacteria remain trapped at the end of the root, continuing to cause problems.
Save Your Tooth
You can free yourself from that nagging pain without losing your natural tooth. An apicoectomy can provide that relief. This specialized procedure removes the tip of the tooth root and any remaining infected tissue, effectively giving your tooth a second chance at health. With a precise, minimally invasive approach, apicoectomy can bring lasting relief from infection and protect the natural structure of your teeth, letting you avoid extraction and preserve your smile.
Get to the Root of the Problem
By opting for an apicoectomy, you’re choosing a solution designed to treat infection from the root – quite literally. This effective option, often performed by an experienced endodontist, offers a targeted solution that treats infection at its source. Not only can this help you keep your natural tooth, but it also spares you the challenges and costs of more extensive dental work like implants or bridges.
An infection cost you a tooth, but you can save it. Talk to your dentist today about whether apicoectomy could be the lasting solution you need to protect your smile from the root up.
