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
Eastern Shore Endodontics Reviews
Eastern Shore Endodontics is by far the best dental experience I have ever had. From the first call I knew I made the right choice picking this location. DR Manasco and his team are above exceptional when it comes to patient care and efficiency. 12/10 would recommend!
If having a root canal could be a pleasant experience, this was it! It was pretty quick and painless and Dr. Tres called to check on me that evening to make sure all was still going well. I highly recommend!
It was the BEST experience!! There was no need to be anxious at all! Dr. Tres and his amazing staff were so kind and caring!
Everything went well with my wife’s root canal, no pain and no complications. Dr Manasco followed up with her same night, attention well appreciated
I had originally an appointment a week out and my tooth was killing me. They squeezed me in the next day and did 2 root canals. Dr talked me through each step and called and check on me the same day. I have no pain now. The office staff was amazing and welcoming.
