What Is Perforation Repair?
A tooth perforation (sometimes called a root perforation or pulpal floor perforation, depending on where it occurs) is a hole that opens up in the root or crown of a tooth, exposing it to the risk of breaking and infection. Perforation repair in endodontics involves disinfecting the tooth and resealing it, creating a stronger, healthier smile. At Eastern Shore Endodontics, Dr. Tres Manasco specializes in a variety of tooth root procedures, including root canals and perforation repair for patients in Daphne, AL. Our team proudly works with patients to create personalized endodontic treatment plans, focusing on each person's comfort and safety above all. If you're dealing with symptoms of pulpal floor perforation, including pain, swelling, or infection, schedule a consultation to discover how we can help.
How Do You Treat A Perforation in A Tooth?
Dr. Manasco will start your perforation repair by accessing the area and cleaning out any signs of infection. After that, he'll seal the tooth to prevent bacteria from getting inside and infecting the pulp. In some cases, he may finish by placing a crown to strengthen the tooth. Perforation repair usually takes 1 – 2 hours, and you should experience relatively little discomfort. Afterward, you'll be able to get back to your routine right away, but you should take care to avoid chewing on that tooth until it's fully restored.
What Are the Benefits of Perforation Repair?
Tooth perforation repair offers several important benefits, especially when it comes to saving a tooth that might otherwise be lost. Some of the key benefits of this treatment include:
- Reduces the risk of oral health complications
- Prevents the spread of infection
- Restores your ability to chew in comfort
- Provides a minimally invasive option for dental restoration

Awesome service,friendly environment, informational and called after the services to follow-up with me
I was very pleased with my experience at Eastern Shore Endodontics! Dr. Manasco was very courteous and professional. He has great bedside manners. He made me feel at ease during the procedure and explained the process every step of the way. His office staff was very courteous and professional as well. From scheduling my appointment to getting the procedure done, they were very helpful. Dr. Manasco even called me later that evening to check on me. His level of care and concern is very impressive. I will definitely visit him again if the need should arise.
Dr. Manasco did a great job. Procedure was close to pain free. I experienced nearly immediate relief from the tooth pain I was experiencing. Really grateful to have a professional endodontist of Dr. Manasco's caliber close at hand
Wonderful experience. Everyone was amazing!
