Tooth pain isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s often a signal that something deeper is happening inside your tooth. Endodontic care focuses on treating these inner issues with precision, relieving pain, and preserving your natural teeth. All of our clinics in Hickory NC and Statesville NC offers a wide range of treatments designed to address everything from common infections to urgent dental emergencies.
Root Canal Therapy: Saving Teeth, Easing Pain
When infection or decay reaches the pulp of your tooth, a root canal is often the best solution. This treatment removes the source of pain, disinfects the canals, and restores the tooth’s function. With today’s techniques and technology, root canals are faster, more comfortable, and highly effective.
Root Canal Retreatment: Restoring Teeth That Didn’t Heal
If a tooth doesn’t fully recover after an initial root canal, retreatment may be necessary. By reopening the canals, removing lingering infection, and carefully sealing them again, endodontists give the tooth another chance to heal properly. This procedure can prevent the need for extraction and extend the life of your natural tooth.
Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy): Advanced Solutions For Persistent Problems
Sometimes, hidden infections can’t be treated with non-surgical care. In these cases, an apicoectomy, a precise surgical procedure that removes infection from the tip of the root, may be recommended. This treatment helps eliminate stubborn problems while preserving your natural tooth.
Cracked Tooth Treatment: Preventing Damage From Getting Worse
A cracked tooth can cause everything from sharp pain when chewing to increased sensitivity. Left untreated, it may lead to infection or tooth loss. Endodontists are trained to identify and treat cracks of all kinds, strengthening the tooth and helping prevent further complications.
Traumatic Dental Injuries: Care For Unexpected Tooth Damage
Sports accidents, falls, or sudden impacts can leave teeth broken, loose, or even knocked out. Endodontists specialize in treating dental injuries, working quickly to stabilize teeth and protect them from long-term damage. The sooner you seek care, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
Emergency Endodontics: Fast Relief When You Need It Most
When severe tooth pain or swelling appears without warning, waiting isn’t an option. Emergency endodontic care provides immediate attention to stop discomfort and prevent the problem from worsening. Quick treatment not only brings relief but also helps protect your overall oral health.
