It’s no secret that tooth pain can put a damper on your day. That throbbing sensation and the inability to eat or drink without distress is downright miserable, so it makes sense that you would want to get rid of it as soon as possible!
Fortunately, there are options for serious dental issues like severe decay, which include endodontic therapy. Endodontics focuses on removing any infected material inside the tooth due to disease or injury before sealing up the tooth with filling material. It’s an effective way to keep teeth healthy and intact.
Clover Hills Dentistry proudly serves the Mission, TX, area with quality dental services. Dr. Alexander Ochoa Falla and Dr. Jo-Ann Collantes provide endodontic treatment to patients of all ages that need to regain control of their dental health. Our team is passionate about providing the highest level of care for all our patients, ensuring you receive the best service every time.
Endodontic treatments are invaluable for saving teeth severely damaged by decay. All three endodontic treatments offer immense benefits for people who must otherwise turn to more drastic measures like tooth extraction if untreated:
Typically, Dr. Ochoa typically only recommends pulpotomies for children. So, what is a pulpotomy? A pulpotomy is a minimally invasive procedure often the best option for saving primary teeth in children. When a primary tooth suffers from extensive decay, Dr. Ochoa can gently remove the infected or dead pulp to save the tooth from early extraction.
Apexification offers a unique solution for treating immature permanent teeth that have suffered from irreparable damage to the pulp. This method involves careful manipulation of root growth and development, with the goal being closure at its tip without any additional thickening or length changes in the canal walls, preserving the tooth’s natural structure so it will remain healthy long term!
During root canal therapy, Dr. Collantes effectively removes infected tissue and abscesses from the top of the crown to the bottom of the tooth root to reinstate the patient’s dental health and relieve root canal pain.
