Deeper Dental Care in Newton Centre
A tooth that throbs at night. A crack you can feel with your tongue. A wisdom tooth that keeps the gum behind it sore. Problems like these tend to show up without warning, and they rarely settle down on their own.
Endodontics deals with the inside of the tooth, where the pulp and nerves sit in narrow canals. Oral surgery here mostly means removing teeth, including impacted or crowded wisdom teeth. The two often come up together, since a badly infected tooth usually has two paths: treat the inside, or take it out.
Saving the Tooth Comes First
Dr. Kaceli considers preserving natural tooth structure the most important part of her work. So an extraction is rarely the first thing she suggests. If root canal therapy in Newton can clear the infection and a crown can protect what's left, she will usually recommend keeping the tooth.
Preservation is key. Keep what nature gave us, and enhance and fix only what is needed.Dr. Monika Kaceli
Some teeth can't be saved. A tooth may be split below the gumline, or decay may have gone too far for a crown to hold. When that happens, removing it is the healthier choice. You'll talk through what could replace it, such as dental implants, before the extraction, so you know what comes next.
How a Visit for Tooth Pain Usually Goes
- Call the officeOur Newton office offers same-day emergency visits. Tell the front desk if you're in pain or notice swelling so we can find you a time.
- Exam and X-raysDr. Kaceli examines the tooth and the gum around it and takes digital X-rays to see the roots and the bone around them.
- A clear explanationShe tells you what she sees and whether a root canal or an extraction makes more sense. Amy Orsini at the front desk can answer insurance questions and prepare a pretreatment estimate.
- TreatmentSome treatment can begin soon after the diagnosis. Other cases are booked as a separate visit. If you feel nervous, say so, and comfort options can be discussed before anything begins.
