Dentists are able to do some amazing things with teeth today. They can put bridges in to keep teeth spaced when one was lost, put an implant in to help give you a natural looking smile and so much more. However, many people want something less invasive than a bridge or an implant. They want something simple and effective that doesn't involve an extensive process or recovery period. This is where regenerative therapy can come into play. Dentists are able to use pulp to help regrow your tissue and restore your tooth to its normal condition. To find out whether you are a candidate for this particular procedure, check out these three things below.

You don't have any known allergies to antibiotics.

Since the dentist is going to be working inside of your mouth in a highly sensitive manner, they are going to have to use antibiotics to make sure that you don't have any adverse reaction to the procedure or encounter an infection. Antibiotics are a main component of the whole process, so individuals who cannot take certain types of antibiotics will need to discuss this with the dentist to determine if there are other alternatives available for you to use.

You have a tooth with necrotic pulp.

For the procedure to work, you must have adequate tooth remaining for the dentist to work with. If you still have a decent amount of tooth and pulp remaining, the cells inserted will be able to bond with your existing tooth and start to regrow the pulp and other cells until you have a solid tooth once again. This is especially important in those who were due to have a root canal as the procedure can help eliminate your need to have this procedure done at all.

A willingness to undergo treatment.

Above all else, you have to be willing to go through the treatment process. One of the best parts about this particular treatment is that it typically only takes two visits to get everything done and start seeing results. However, times can vary based on how well you are healing and so on. As long as you are healthy and willing to keep following up with your dentist, you shouldn't have any problems. Your willingness to do your part can make a world of difference in how the procedure turns out.

If you possess the three things above, spend some time discussing your treatment options with your dentist (or medical professionals like those at Renovo Endodontic Studio).
