Services at Hill Endodontics
Short answer: Hill Endodontics lists root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment, apicoectomy (endodontic microsurgery), care for cracked teeth and care for traumatic injuries, and links a clinical document on regenerative procedures for referring doctors.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] These descriptions are the practice’s own and are general information, not advice for any one tooth.
What is root canal therapy at Hill Endodontics?
The practice describes root canal therapy as removing injured pulp from a tooth and thoroughly cleaning and sealing the root canal system under local anesthesia, typically in one or two visits, with nitrous oxide and oral sedation available when needed.[2] The American Association of Endodontists says a modern root canal is similar to having a routine filling and can usually be completed in one or two appointments.[8]
What is endodontic retreatment?
The practice says a tooth that has had endodontic treatment occasionally fails to heal or becomes painful months or years later, and retreatment reopens the tooth, removes the old filling material, cleans the canals and reseals them.[3]
What is an apicoectomy?
Also called root-end resection, an apicoectomy is described by the practice as endodontic microsurgery: a small incision in the gum, removal of damaged tissue and the end of the root tip, and a root-end filling, with bone healing over the following months. The practice says surgery is recommended only when a standard root canal is not enough on its own.[4]
How does the practice describe cracked teeth?
The practice lists four kinds of crack, from craze lines in the enamel, which it says are usually no concern, to split teeth, which it says may not be savable, and says early detection matters.[5] Whether a particular crack needs treatment is a question for a dentist or endodontist who examines the tooth.
What does it say about knocked-out or injured teeth?
The practice calls these injuries time-sensitive and lists steps for a knocked-out tooth: handle it by the crown, rinse briefly under cold water without scrubbing, reposition it in the socket if possible or keep it in milk or saliva, never in water, and see a dentist right away.[6] In an emergency, contact a dentist or emergency services; this page is not a substitute for that call.
What about regenerative procedures?
The practice’s referring-doctor page links an American Association of Endodontists document, “Considerations for Regenerative Procedures,” and says the recommendations are based on the best available data and are one possible source of information for clinicians.[7]
