Your dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to determine the need for periapical surgery.

Periapical surgery is a procedure used to treat infection at the tip of a tooth root when a root canal treatment alone cannot completely remove the infection.
In this procedure, the dentist gently lifts the gum tissue to reach the infected area around the root of the tooth. The infected tissue is carefully removed, and the end of the root is sealed to prevent further infection. This treatment helps save the natural tooth and prevents the infection from spreading to nearby tissues.
Periapical surgery is usually recommended only when other treatments have not been successful. The procedure is performed with precision to ensure effective healing. With proper care, the treated tooth can continue to function normally.
