Dislodged Teeth

During an injury, a tooth may be pushed sideways, out of or into its socket. Your endodontist or general dentist will reposition and stabilize your tooth. Root canal treatment is usually needed for permanent teeth that have been dislodged and should be started a few days following the injury. Medications such as calcium hydroxide may be put inside the tooth as part of the root canal treatment. A permanent root canal filling will be placed at a later date.

What Is an Apicoectomy?

Apicoectomy is a dental procedure that is quite common where the inflamed gum tissue and the end of the root of the tooth are removed, and the top of your tooth is left. It is often medically known as root-end resection due to it working on the end or tip of the root known as the apex.
