A perforation (or hole) in the root of your tooth can have a long-term effect on the health of your tooth and tissue around it. The perforation can happen naturally with root resorption or during a dental procedure (such as a root canal). Either way, a perforation in the tooth root should be addressed to avoid further complications.
Dr. Bahador at Pure Endodontics will examine your tooth for possible perforation and depending on the extent of the perforation, tooth might need a repair or extraction. If the tooth is repairable, Dr. Bahador will clean the perforation site and apply a biocompatible filling material to prevent bacteria from growing. During his time as an endodontist, Dr. Bahador has worked successfully to prevent tooth loss and restore teeth with root perforations for his patients.
