Tooth and Jaw Pain Diagnosis

Emergency Treatment for Trauma and Tooth Pain

Sedation

Root Canal Therapy

Indications:

Cavity, history of having a large cavity and filling, defective filling, trauma, or tooth crack that has led to symptoms including temperature sensitivity, throbbing pain, difficulty eating or chewing, pressure on the gum, a bump on the gum, or swelling

Success Rate:

After root canal treatment, long-term studies have found that after 8-10 years, the procedure was 94-98% successful. As with any procedure, there is a 5% chance that follow up treatment may be required.

Risks:

The treatment is designed to help you retain your natural teeth. However, there is a 5% chance that a tooth may require a retreatment, surgery, or extraction. Slight to moderate post-procedure pain or discomfort may occur.

Root Canal Retreatments

Indications:

A tooth that has been previously treated with a root canal, but has been reinfected due to exposure of the root canal, a failing filling or crown, or persistent infection.

Success Rate: Ranges from 93-100% depending on tooth condition.

Root Surgery

Indications: Previously root canal treated teeth with infection. Surgery may be recommended either in conjunction with root canal or retreatment or alone if retreatment is not advised.

Success Rate: 94-95%

Laser Assisted Irrigation

Laser-assisted technology is the most advanced tool available to remove inflamed and infected tissue, debris and bacteria, which is responsible for tooth-pain. It will be utilized throughout a root canal or retreatment procedure for more thorough disinfection. It has been shown to help remove up to 99% of bacteria commonly found in the root canal. It assists in disinfecting more complex root canal anatomy and can also reduce treatment time.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone (O₃) is highly effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi—particularly effective against common endodontic pathogens like Enterococcus faecalis, which is often resistant to standard treatment.

Gaseous ozone can penetrate deep into dentinal tubules, where mechanical instrumentation and irrigants often fail to reach.

When used properly, ozone is biocompatible and does not harm periapical tissues. It is less toxic compared to traditional irrigants like sodium hypochlorite.

Ozone has anti-inflammatory effects and can promote local circulation and tissue repair that may help to reduce post-operative sensitivity.
