Regenerative Endodontics

In the past, when the nerves of younger patients’ teeth became infected, most Endodontists were forced to resort to apexification, a procedure that prevents root tips from continuing to develop and thereby leaves teeth more vulnerable to fractures. However, in certain cases, a new alternative procedure, termed regenerative Endodontics, can allow your Endodontist to revive or regenerate your previously-infected tooth’s natural tissue so that the root can continue growing.
