Specialists in Endodontic Procedures

When you need a root canal or any other endodontic treatment, Klempka Dental is the office to call. We can perform nonsurgical and surgical procedures to ensure we save your tooth. These include an apicoectomy, which removes infected tissue from below the gum line, tooth slitting, root repair, or even root removal.

During our consultation, we can discuss your specific situation and determine the best course of action in your case. With a local anesthetic, we can make you as comfortable as possible during your endodontic procedure and we will inform you of how best to take care of your teeth after the surgery.

How You Can Avoid a Tooth Extraction

As is always the case, there are certain staples of oral healthcare that you can do to avoid a trip to the endodontist chair. It all starts with brushing twice a day and flossing each night. Avoiding hard foods like candy will reduce the risk of teeth breaking or excessive pressure. And, while some people enjoy ice, either to chew on or for the chill, it can lead to extreme sensitivity caused by inflammation in or under the tooth.

It’s also best to wear a mouth guard while sleeping or participating in strenuous activities to lower the risk of excessive grinding. Finally, avoid acidic and sugary drinks that can soften teeth from within.
