This is among the most commonly performed restorative treatments because it is safe and effective for reinstating the health of a compromised tooth. Although they now have over a 95% success rate, there are times when a root canal can fail. Do not worry. You do not need to have your tooth removed. Instead, it can be saved with an apicoectomy.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an Apicoectomy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A nonsurgical root canal removes the inner layer of your\ntooth, called the pulp. Your tooth is sterilized and sealed using a material\ncalled gutta-percha before a custom-made dental crown is placed over it. Often,\nthis is enough to restore the health of an infected tooth. Unfortunately, there\nmay come a time when a root canal can fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roots of the teeth can be rather complex. Some teeth,\nthe molars, in particular, have various canals that may be difficult to fully\nclean during the initial root canal. This can leave bacteria and decay within\nthe tooth, which can lead to an unsuccessful procedure. Complications may not\nbe immediate. Instead, reinfection can occur several years later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common cause of a failing root canal is from an\ninfection that develops or continues after the treatment. Now, your tooth cannot\nbe saved using a conventional root canal. Instead, you need an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbishopendo.com\/apicoectomies.html\">apicoectomy<\/a>. This is a\nminor surgical procedure to remove the very tip of the tooth\u2019s root, called the\napex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can I Expect?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest advancements in dentistry now make the procedure\nless invasive; however, to ensure your comfort, a local anesthesia is used.\nYour endodontist makes a small incision in the gum near the tooth to expose the\ninfected tissue. The tip of the root is removed and the end of it is sealed\nusing a small dental filling. Your endodontist sutures the tissue closed and\nyour bone heals around the tip of the root over the next several weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is normal to experience some slight discomfort and swelling\nwhile you heal, but you will be able to resume your normal activities. Your\nendodontist will give you advice regarding the foods to eat and how to maintain\nyour oral hygiene while you recover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save Your Smile Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a previous root canal has failed, you do not need to have\nyour tooth removed. Instead, it can once again be saved with restorative dentistry\nto stay in place for many years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Dr. Deborah\nBishop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbishopendo.com\/meet-dr-bishop.html\">Dr.\nDeborah Bishop<\/a> is a reputable endodontist in the community who specializes\nin saving compromised teeth.
