Specialized expertise empowers your tooth to rebound from traumatic dental injuries
At the Endodontics Associates of Georgia, Drs. Damaris Candelario-Soto, Yanina Figueroa, Joseph Yoo, and Shaletha Bolden are proficient in dealing with severe traumatic dental injuries. In medical terms, “trauma” refers to physical injuries to living tissues, typically caused by external factors. As specialists in the field, we understand that endodontic treatments aim to alleviate discomfort and pain by addressing issues at the source—at the heart of the tooth in the tissues known as the dental pulp.
Why should I choose Endodontic Associates of Georgia for my endodontic treatment?
Our expert endodontists diagnose and treat injuries resulting from sports accidents, falls, car crashes, and any other type of impact to the teeth. We are trained to handle and treat severely damaged teeth that are loose, broken, dislodged, knocked out, and more. We use our expertise and advanced technology to diagnose conditions accurately, gain insights into the tooth’s structure, and treat it in a way that preserves it effectively. This translates into an experience that is gentle, comfortable, and safe for our patients and ensures optimal treatment outcomes.
What can be done after a traumatic dental injury?
If a tooth is partially or completely knocked out, it can be repositioned, stabilized, reattached, and treated with root canal therapy. However, timing is of the essence in such situations. If the tooth is knocked out, carefully rinse it and place it back into its socket without disturbing the surrounding tissue. If you cannot keep it in the mouth, put it in a sterile, sealed container with milk or salt water to preserve it until we can assist in re-rooting the tooth. Getting to the office as soon as possible is critical to increasing the likelihood of reattachment.
What other services are available at Endodontic Associates of Georgia?
We understand the importance of maintaining pulp health as the tooth matures. A healthy pulp is vital for a tooth’s growth. Therefore, we recommend swift treatment of damaged pulp tissue, especially for pediatric patients whose teeth are still developing. We offer regenerative treatments such as apexogenesis to promote stronger root development and support growth. During apexification, we may use medication to encourage tissue development at the root tips, safeguarding the tooth from bacterial infection.
