ENDODONTIST NEAR LEICESTER, MA

Root Canal Treatment

To this day, root canals are feared. However, this procedure is designed to alleviate pain, not cause it! In fact, your mouth will be thoroughly numbed beforehand, allowing our board-certified endodontists to remove the infected tissue while you relax comfortably in the treatment chair. The restoration we use to protect your tooth will look and feel just like the real thing too, so you won’t have to worry about any unwanted attention being drawn to your smile either.

Endodontic Surgery

Usually, a root canal can save a badly decayed or damaged tooth. There are some exceptions, however. For example, if it’s easier to treat the tooth while it’s outside of your mouth, then we can intervene with intentional replantation. Similarly, if there are signs of inflammation around the tooth roots following a root canal, then we may recommend an apicoectomy to remove the inflamed or infected tissue. As always, if you have any questions about your treatment options, you can bring them to our helpful and experienced endodontists near Leicester.

Endodontic Retreatment

Although root canal treatment has an extremely high success rate, it’s possible for endodontic retreatment to be necessary, like if new decay has formed. If that’s the case, then a thorough cleaning is performed, especially in the areas that may have been overlooked the first time. The tooth will then be refilled and protected with a restoration to ensure it looks, feels, and functions as it should.

Endodontics for Children

There’s a common misconception that infected baby teeth should simply be pulled. That’s not the case! After all, removing them too early can negatively impact your child’s smile in several ways. Depending on the extent of the damage, we will recommend either a pulpotomy or a pulpectomy. In both cases, we will thoroughly numb your child’s mouth beforehand, ensuring they don’t feel any pain in the treatment chair.
