AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL ROOT CANAL THERAPY

quality METHODS FOR REGENERATING CHILDREN'S TEETH

Regenerative endodontic treatment involves disinfecting and cleaning the interior of the tooth, then stimulating the growth of new pulp. This allows for continued root development while increasing the strength of the tooth and surrounding tissues, keeping it healthy for years to come. A regenerative endodontic procedure uses special biological scaffolds and growth factors to stimulate the regrowth of pulp-like tissue after a tooth infection in an immature permanent (adult) tooth. In contrast, a traditional root canal treatment involves removing all of the infected tissue and restoring it with an inert substance that keeps the tooth strong.

Is This Treatment Mostly for Children?

Regenerative endodontic procedures typically have the best outcomes in kids. This is because their permanent teeth are growing and maturing. Regenerative endodontic procedures takes advantage of this by stimulating tooth stem cells to allow for the continued growth of immature damaged or infected teeth. While it is possible to perform regenerative endodontic procedures on adults, they are not always as effective as more traditional endodontic therapies, such as root canal therapy. To get your child the care they need, we recommend booking a consultation as soon as possible.

What to Expect From Regenerative Endodontic Procedures

The entire treatment process will take place over the course of a few appointments to allow for proper healing. Our gentle, friendly team will ensure you and your child feel comfortable and confident during each visit. Here's what you can expect:

First Appointment: At the first appointment, the tooth will be cleaned and the treatment area will be numbed. The tooth will be opened up and flushed with disinfectant, and special antibiotics and healing compounds will be placed inside the tooth, which will be temporarily sealed with a filling.

Second Appointment: At the second appointment, usually 1-4 weeks after the first visit, the temporary filling is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned. Then, bleeding is induced inside the tooth to create a blood clot, and other steps are taken to encourage the growth of new tissue inside the tooth, which will be sealed with a filling.

Follow-Up Exam: A follow-up will be conducted after several weeks, ensuring the tooth has healed properly. You’ll be asked questions about any pain and discomfort you’ve experienced, and your endodontist will take X-rays and examine the tooth.

Aftercare: There is typically no need for any special aftercare precautions. The tooth may be a bit tender and sore for a few days after treatment due to the manipulation of the interior pulp and the surrounding tissues, but this is normal, and will fade quickly. If everything looks good, the tooth can be treated just like a regular tooth. Brush and floss regularly and see a dentist for routine visits to maintain your oral health.

Keep your child's smile health with ONE ENDO®

Your child’s baby teeth form the “paths” that allow their adult teeth to erupt in the proper position. This is why premature baby tooth loss is such a big problem. Losing a baby tooth before it’s supposed to come out can cause serious oral development issues later in your child’s life. Make sure you get the care they need to keep their smile healthy!

I am a total scaredy-cat when it comes to dentists. All my concerns and worries were taken care of by Dr. Chen. She was awesome. Her bedside manner was just the best and really made me feel at ease. Her workmanship was impeccable and I am 24 hrs past my root canal- pain free. Just can’t say enough about Dr. Chen.

Dr. Mastroianni and his team are fantastic! I went to their office in severe pain and they addressed it immediately. The technology they used to find the route of the problem was like anything I have seen before. He was able to quickly find the issue and direct me to resolution. I would recommend 10/10!

I was referred to One Endo to detect and treat the source of severe tooth pain. Dr. Mastroianni quickly determined the source of the pain, took the time to explain the problem and the options for treatment, and performed an emergency root canal immediately. I highly recommend One Endo - and in particular Dr. Mastroianni.
