Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a common and highly effective procedure used to treat teeth with infected or damaged pulp. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, the root canal is cleaned and disinfected and then filled and sealed. This treatment eliminates the source of infection, relieves pain, and preserves the natural tooth, allowing it to function normally without the need for extraction.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy, or root-end surgery, is performed when a standard root canal procedure isn’t sufficient to treat an infection. This minor surgical procedure involves removing the tip of the tooth’s root and the surrounding infected tissue. The end of the root is then sealed to prevent further infection. An apicoectomy can be a crucial step in saving a tooth that might otherwise require extraction, ensuring long-term dental health and stability.
