The root canal system is much more complex than people realize, especially since it is unique to every person. Most think that the root of a tooth is one or even two cylindrical canals. Instead, it is a maze of large and small arteries coupled with curvatures, ramifications, outpouchings, multiple portals and lateral canals. That is why it is important to use the best possible combination of knowledge, technique and technology provided by our specialist. Dr. Parsi can give you the acute attention needed to ensure proper care for your specific root canal structure. In fact, most patients who need to see Dr. Parsi are those who have received previous root canal therapy that has either failed or become reinfected. For this reason, we strongly encourage that patients be referred to our endodontist to ensure that you receive complete care.
The complexity of your tooth root system requires highly developed microscopy, which allows Dr. Alex Parsi to navigate the intricacies of your tooth roots. This is whey he only uses Zeiss microscopes: microscopic technology that allows him to see 40 times closer than the naked eye. Through these electron microscopic images, he can visualize not only the structure of the roots but also the anatomy of your dentin, the intermediate layer of your tooth between the outer enamel and inner pulp.
Decay can slowly progress from a cavity inward through the enamel and dentin, causing the inner pulp to become inflamed, infected and potentially abscessed. If left unchecked, this infection can spread to the underlying bone and surrounding tissue, resulting in cellulitis that in turn affects your general health. This causes side effects of tiredness, swelling, fever, extreme pain and facial deformity, and may result in necessary hospitalization and surgery in extreme cases. In order to prevent this, it is imperative to see Dr. Parsi, who can give you the specialist treatment you need with his expertise.
