What Is Resorption Repair?
Tooth resorption is a condition that occurs when the body's immune system breaks down and absorbs the roots or pulp of a tooth. The most common causes of tooth resorption include injury, infection, or orthodontic treatment. If left untreated, tooth resorption can cause severe problems over months and years, leading to pain, infection, and tooth loss. At Eastern Shore Endodontics, Dr. Tres Manasco specializes in advanced endodontic treatments, including resorption repair, to help patients enjoy stronger, healthier smiles. If you're experiencing persistent dull pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or spreading discomfort in your gums, we urge you to schedule an endodontic exam at our Daphne, AL office as soon as possible to protect your smile from infection. Early detection and treatment are crucial when it comes to addressing tooth or root resorption — our team is here to help.
How Is Tooth Resorption Treatment Performed?
During your consultation, we'll examine your mouth and take detailed digital x-rays to assess the location and extent of the resorption. Dr. Manasco will use these impressions to map out your treatment for better results. The most common approach to resorption repair is root canal therapy, which involves accessing the inner pulp of the tooth to remove infection and prevent further breakdown. After cleaning out the tooth, Dr. Manasco will fill it to provide strength before sealing it. Your dentist will continue to monitor the area after your resorption repair to check on your recovery and spot infection if it reoccurs.
For more severe cases of dental bone resorption, we may recommend oral surgery to clean the tooth and restore function. We'll discuss what you can expect during your visit to our Daphne, AL practice.
