Orthodontic Canine Exposures & Surgical Endodontics Dorset and Hampshire

    Home Orthodontic Canine Exposures & Surgical Endodontics Dorset and Hampshire

    CANINE EXPOSURES

    The canine, or eye tooth, normally erupts into the mouth between the ages of 11 and 13. Sometimes one or both canines develop in the wrong position. Often, they lie across the roof of the mouth behind the front teeth. This can create malalignment of teeth, functional and aesthetic concerns.

    The exposure of the Canines helps your orthodontist reposition them in alignment with the rest of your teeth for an even bite and smile.

    SURGICAL ENDODONTICS

    An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure for people who have an infection in the root of their tooth after root canal treatment has been completed. It is aimed to treat and protect your tooth so that you can hold onto it for longer.

    FAQ’s

    How long after the Canine exposure do I have to see my Orthodontist?

    It usually takes a couple of weeks for surgical healing to take place. While you can still continue with your daily routine after a day’s rest, it is advisable to book a review with your Orthodontist, 2 weeks after your procedure with us.

    Are there any specific risks associated with Canine exposures?

    Being a minimally invasive procedure, some soreness, swelling after the procedure and mild bleeding during the procedure can be expected. However, the risk of the gum growing back over the canines (may need re-exposure) or the gold chain’s glue coming undone are specific to this procedure. These risks can be avoided if timely reviews are booked in but may happen nonetheless.

    How long does it take to heal after an Apicectomy?

    The initial gum healing after the procedure may take 1-2 weeks, however, healing around the roots may take months and this will be monitored by your dentist by taking radiographs when indicated.

    Will I need to have an extraction if the Apicectomy does not work?

    There are specific indications for Apicectomy and if done in accordance with them, the procedure has a 90% + success rate allowing you to preserve your tooth. Sometimes, however, the infection can return and a re-Apicectomy can be an option before going down the extraction route but one has to be mindful that the success rate second time round is markedly reduced to 60-65%.
