When the inflammation or infection persists after the root canal treatment, an apicoectomy may be required.

Parents should consult with a pediatrician to determine if their children would benefit from a frenectomy.

The vast majority of TMJ sufferers are unaware that the root cause of these problems is something that a dentist can effectively treat.
