Root Resorption Endodontics

Address Root Resorption Early to Save Your Natural Teeth

Root resorption is a dental condition where the body's own cells break down and absorb the structure of a tooth's root. This progressive condition can lead to tooth loss if left untreated, making early intervention essential. At Southwest Endodontics, we focus on diagnosing and treating all types of root resorption to preserve your natural teeth when possible. Our endodontic specialists bring deep experience with this complex condition and use advanced techniques to address both internal and external root resorption. We provide comprehensive root resorption treatments including:

• Internal root resorption therapy
• External root resorption management
• Cervical resorption interventions
• Post-traumatic resorption treatment
• Inflammatory resorption care
• Replacement resorption solutions

If you've been diagnosed with root resorption or notice symptoms like pain, discoloration, or loose teeth, reach out to us for a thorough evaluation.

Understanding Root Resorption and Its Impact on Your Dental Health

Root resorption often develops quietly until major damage occurs. Knowing the signs and causes can help you get treatment before permanent damage happens. Common reasons patients may need root resorption endodontic treatment:

• Dental trauma or injury
• Complications from orthodontic treatment
• Chronic infections in surrounding tissues
• Impacted teeth pressing on adjacent roots
• Tumors or cysts in the jaw
• Genetic factors
• Excessive teeth whitening treatments

Root resorption can be classified as internal (starting inside the tooth) or external (beginning on the outer surface of the root). Both types need specialized endodontic care to stop progression and save the tooth structure. Without proper treatment, the resorption continues until the tooth becomes unstable and may require extraction.

Finding root resorption early through regular dental check-ups and x-rays gives you the best chance for successful treatment. If your dentist spots signs of root resorption, getting an endodontic consultation quickly is vital to saving your tooth.
