Traumatic Injuries to the Mouth
Dislodged Teeth
Injuries to the mouth can cause teeth to be pushed back into their sockets. Dr. Boustany, Dr. Kuyk, Dr. Fragale, Dr. Romeo or your general dentist may reposition and stabilize your tooth. Root canal treatment is usually started within a few weeks of the injury and a medication, such as calcium hydroxide, will be placed inside the tooth. Eventually, a permanent root canal filling will be implanted.
Sometimes a tooth may be pushed partially out of the socket. Again, your endodontist or general dentist may reposition and stabilize your tooth. If the pulp remains healthy, then no other treatment is necessary. Yet, if the pulp becomes damaged or infected, root canal treatment will be required. If left untreated, many different complications can arise. These complications can include but are not limited to: Infection of the tooth, root system or surrounding tissue, inadequate hygiene due to an inability to properly clean the dislodged tooth and the gums, and loss of the tooth.
Endodontic treatment can save your natural teeth!

Avulsed Teeth
If an injury causes a tooth to be completely knocked out of your mouth, it is important that you are treated immediately! If this happens to you, keep the tooth moist. If possible, put it back into the socket. A tooth can be saved if it remains moist. You can even put the tooth in milk or a glass of water (add a pinch of salt.) Drs. Boustany, Kuyk, Fragale or Romeo may start root canal treatment based upon the stage of root development. The length of time the tooth was out of your mouth and the way the tooth was stored, may influence the type of treatment you receive.

Patient Review by Thomas M
Have had root canals done in the past. This one was by far the best. The most comfortable and painless. The whole procedure was quite impressive! My wife said she had only good things to say about everyone here. My father, Dr. John Miller, was very impressed. He was in dentistry and orthodontics for over forty years. He had a root canal done here this year, and his professional opinion was five star! He says this whole office is state of the art, with the people that make it a good experience. My thanks to them all !

I wish I would have known that it was going to be so simple so I wasn't so nervous. The staff and Dr. Boustany got me in the same day and I left pain free.
