Root Canal Therapy

2.

Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)

How It Works:

• Numb the area (local anesthesia or sedation)

• Remove infected pulp using laser sterilization

• Clean & seal the tooth’s interior

• Restore with a crown (often same-day)

• Most patients recover within 1–2 days with minimal discomfort.

How It Works:

• Access the root tip through a small gum incision

• Remove infected tissue & seal the root end

• Preserve existing crowns/bridges (no need to replace them)

• Faster healing than tooth extraction!

Recovery & Aftercare

Avoid:

• Chewing hard foods until fully restored

• Smoking (delays healing)

• Most patients resume normal activities the next day.

Do:

• Take prescribed antibiotics (if given)

• Eat soft foods for 1–2 days

• Brush gently around treated area
