Endodontic Associates, P.C.

It’s important to keep in mind that, no matter how effective modern tooth replacement is, nothing is going to be as good as a natural tooth. Endodontic treatment is your best bet when it comes to saving your teeth.

If you’re feeling constant pain in your mouth, but you’re having trouble determining which tooth is causing the problem, this is a sign that you may have infected and inflamed tooth pulp. In this case, a root canal can often save the tooth.

Endodontic surgery is often used to locate hidden canals and locate small fractures that were not revealed by x-rays or during a prior treatment. An endodontist can also perform surgery to remove stubborn calcium deposits located deep within root canals and safely treat damaged root surfaces.

Will my root canal be painful? People seem to generally fear root canals, thinking that the procedure will be painful and irritating. This is just a myth. A root canal is actually relatively painless and will not cause you harm.

Did you know that the first root canal pulp circulation was described in 1819? In fact, Charles Bew laid out the facts of pulp circulation (through the apex) as it pertained to the dental wall as well as the periodontal ligament. Exposed pulp was first cauterized in 1820 and protected with lead foil.

"Why will it take three appointments for my implant?" In many situations, that first appointment involves putting the implant into the jaw. Once the jaw has fused with the implant a process that can take 3 to 6 months the second step is to attach an abutment to the implant and then a final appointment is used to attach the crown to the implant and abutment.

So what causes a person to need retreatment, or a second endodontic procedure? This can be connected to trauma or a broken crown, but it can also be caused by new decay that exposes the root canal filling material to bacteria, causing a new infection.

With proper care and maintenance, you should expect your root canals to last anywhere between 8-10 years. #TheMoreYouKnow
