At YouDent Multi-speciality Dental Clinic, we understand that dental health is essential for overall well-being. In cases where traditional root canal treatment may not fully resolve an infection or inflammation near the tip of a tooth's root, we offer apicoectomy as a specialized endodontic procedure to save your natural tooth and preserve your oral health.

An apicoectomy, also known as root-end resection, is a surgical procedure performed to remove the infected or inflamed tissue from the tip of a tooth's root. This procedure is typically recommended when a traditional root canal treatment is not sufficient to address the underlying issue, such as in cases of persistent infection, a curved or narrow root canal, or the presence of calcium deposits.

Here's what you can expect from an apicoectomy at YouDent Multi-speciality Dental Clinic:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Before recommending an apicoectomy, our experienced endodontists will conduct a thorough examination, which may include diagnostic tests such as X-rays or CBCT scans, to assess the extent of the issue and determine the best course of action.

2. Treatment Planning: If an apicoectomy is deemed necessary, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and concerns. We'll take the time to explain the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and address any anxieties or concerns you may be experiencing.

3. Procedure: During the apicoectomy procedure, our skilled endodontists will make a small incision in the gum tissue near the affected tooth to access the root tip. The infected or inflamed tissue will be carefully removed, and the root tip will be sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection.

4. Healing and Recovery: After the procedure, we'll provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort. You may experience some mild swelling or discomfort for a few days following the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and proper oral hygiene practices.

5. Follow-up Care: We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure that your tooth is responding well to treatment. In some cases, a dental crown may be recommended to provide additional support and protection for the treated tooth.
