WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AN APICOECTOMY PROCEDURE FOR DENTAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT

An Apicoectomy is a dental procedure that is often performed at the HSR Dental Booth by Dr. Jalpa Tank. This procedure is typically done when a root canal treatment has failed to completely remove an infection from the root tip of a tooth. The goal of an apicoectomy is to remove the infected tissue and seal off the root tip to prevent further infection.

Apicoectomy

To understand the need for an Apicoectomy, it is important to understand the anatomy of a tooth. Each tooth has a crown, which is the visible part above the gum line, and a root, which extends into the jawbone. Inside the tooth, there is a pulp chamber that contains nerves and blood vessels. The root canals, which are located in the roots of the tooth, connect the pulp chamber to the surrounding bone.

When a tooth becomes infected, bacteria can enter the pulp chamber and travel down the root canals, causing an infection at the root tip. This can lead to pain, swelling, and even the formation of an abscess. In most cases, a root canal treatment can effectively remove the infection and save the tooth. However, in some cases, the infection persists or returns after a root canal treatment.

When this happens, an apicoectomy may be recommended. During this procedure, Dr. Jalpa Tank will make a small incision in the gum tissue near the tooth to access the root tip. The infected tissue will be removed, along with a small portion of the root tip. The area will then be cleaned and sealed with a dental material to prevent further infection.
