Overall

Dr. Dittmar has performed 3 root canal procedures on me over the years. I have found he and his staff to be courteous and professional. Dr. Dittmar thoroughly explained all procedures in advance and checked on me constantly during the procedures to ensure I was comfortable. I recommend Kensington Valley Endodontics!

Fillings
Crowns
After completion of endodontic treatment or retreatment, you must return to your dentist to have a crown or other restoration placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function. It is normal to experience post-operative discomfort following endodontic treatment. However, symptoms should improve daily until your tooth starts to feel normal again. If you experience persistent or increasing pain or any swelling, please call our office. Occasionally additional measures or medications are necessary to assist in post-operative healing.

Root Canal Treatment
All teeth have a hollow space inside them where nerves and blood vessels reside. When teeth experience decay, cracks, a history of many fillings, trauma, or other sources of stress, bacteria have an opportunity to enter the hollow space of the tooth. Once bacteria or irritants gain entrance to this space, the body cannot get enough blood into the tooth to resolve this condition, and the nerve may begin to degenerate. The tooth becomes painful when this happens. Eventually, bacteria will leak out the tip of the root of the tooth, and an abscess may develop, causing swelling and pain. Root canal therapy is designed to resolve or prevent this situation. The only other treatment alternative to a root canal is extraction of the tooth.
Apicoectomy
Occasionally, a nonsurgical root canal procedure alone cannot save your tooth and surgery will be recommended. Endodontic surgery can be used to access structures and canals that are not clinically accessible with traditional root canal therapy. Surgery is used to circumvent obstructions in root canals, treat damaged root surfaces, or remove chronic infection or cysts in the bone surrounding the tooth. There are many surgical procedures that can be performed to save a tooth. The most common is called an apicoectomy. In this microsurgical procedure the gum tissue near the tooth is raised to see the underlying bone and to remove any inflamed or infected tissue. The very end of the root is also removed. A small filling may be placed to seal the end of the root canal and few stitches or sutures are placed to help the tissue heal. Over a period of months, the bone heals around the end of the root. Local anesthetics make the procedure comfortable, and most patients return to their normal activities the next day. Postsurgical discomfort is generally mild.
