Targeted Solutions for Lasting Dental Health

Dentist Green Cove Springs

An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat persistent infection or inflammation at the tip of the tooth root, especially when a root canal treatment alone is not sufficient. During an apicoectomy, Dr. Mohammed Naser makes a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth root, removes the infected tissue, and seals the root tip to prevent further infection. This procedure helps to save the tooth and eliminate the source of infection, ensuring long-term oral health.
Indications for an apicoectomy may include:

• Persistent infection after a root canal treatment
• Cyst or abscess at the root tip
• Root fracture or damage
• Calcified canals that make traditional root canal treatment difficult

An apicoectomy is a highly effective solution for addressing complex root infections and preserving your natural teeth. For more information or to schedule a consultation, contact Asbury Dental and Implants Center.
