What Is Root Resorption?
Root resorption is a condition where the structure of a tooth's root breaks down or is absorbed by the body, potentially causing the tooth to weaken or even fall out if left untreated. This can occur due to various factors, such as trauma, infection, or certain dental conditions. At Brookwood Endodontics Tuscaloosa, Dr. Adam Powell provides treatment to address root resorption, helping to restore the health and stability of affected teeth. If you suspect root resorption, schedule a consultation at our Tuscaloosa, AL office today to explore the best options for preserving your natural smile.
How Is Root Resorption Treated?
Treating root resorption involves addressing the underlying cause and preserving as much of the tooth structure as possible. The specific approach depends on the extent and location of the resorption. If caught early, Dr. Powel may clean the affected area and fill it with a restorative material to prevent further damage. In cases involving internal resorption, root canal therapy may be necessary to remove the damaged tissue and seal the tooth. For severe cases where the tooth's stability is compromised, extraction and replacement with options like dental implants might be recommended. Timely intervention is critical to stopping the progression of root resorption and maintaining oral health.
What Are the Benefits of Root Resorption Repair?
Root resorption repair offers several key benefits by addressing the condition and maintaining your dental health, such as:
- Halting the progression of tooth damage and preventing tooth loss
- Restoring the strength and functionality of the affected tooth
- Relieving pain or discomfort caused by the resorption process
- Safeguarding neighboring teeth and tissues from potential harm
- Promoting lasting oral health through early and effective treatment

I had been dealing with excruciating pain in my mouth for a long time and I was referred here by my primary dentist. I was nervous at first, but everyone here was so incredible. They got me in for a last minute appointment and stayed late to help me out. Numbing injections normally don’t work on me, so dental procedures have always been a nightmare. But Dr. Stephen Thomas is a miracle worker and made it where I barely felt anything. 10/10.They just need an office cat and it would be my new favorite place!
I received wonderful treatment from every employee that I encountered, on the phone, and in the office. I have used them in the past, and if needed, I will choose them again in the future.
