Pediatric Endodontics
Children may also require endodontic care. Not all endodontists in the South Elgin area treat children. They have special treatment needs because their teeth and root canals are at varying stages of development. Our doctors at Southwest Endodontics can help your kids to have healthier adult teeth by treating their baby teeth and underdeveloped adult teeth with pediatric endodontic care.
Cracked Teeth Care
A cracked tooth can happen without warning. Simply biting down on a hard piece of food can cause a tooth to crack. Seeking treatment as soon as you notice the crack can help you to avoid prolonged pain from the crack or future infection.
Endodontic treatment of cracked teeth may include surgery or a root canal. Our doctors will take images of your tooth to select the right treatment to save as much of the tooth as we can.
Endodontic Retreatment
Endodontic retreatment gives you the option to save a tooth that has a problem after treatment with a root canal. As with root canals, we can use the GentleWave system to improve retreatment care.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a type of endodontic surgery. This type of surgery requires an incision into the gums to reach the tooth’s root end. Our doctors only perform this surgery if needed to properly treat the tooth if non-surgical root canal treatment is inadequate.
Traumatic Injuries
Endodontic intervention through surgery or non-surgical root canal care can help you to avoid tooth loss from extraction. We also treat traumatic injuries to teeth. If you have serious trauma on one of your teeth, come see us as soon as possible at Southwest Endodontics.
