A horizontal root fracture can occur during traumatic injuries. The location of this fracture will play a factor in the long term health of the tooth. The closer it is to the root tip, the higher the chances there are that the tooth will remain healthy. These chances decrease if the fracture is closer to the gum line.

As you can see, we have a variety of tooth pain treatments for your teeth at Ideal Endodontics. Make an appointment today, and let us evaluate your needs!

As occasionally happens with any dental or medical procedure, a tooth may not heal as expected after initial treatment for a variety of reasons:

• Narrow or curved canals were not treated during the initial procedure.
• Complicated canal anatomy went undetected in the first procedure.
• The placement of the crown or other restoration was delayed following the endodontic treatment.
• The restoration did not prevent salivary contamination to the inside of the tooth.

• A loose, cracked or broken crown or filling can expose the tooth to new infection.
• A tooth sustains a fracture.
