That would indicate that the tooth is dead. Is it a permanent or baby tooth? Has the source of these infections been identified? In many cases it is the bite that is off, which is torquing the teeth repeatedly thus killing them. We offer ozone root canals, which I feel is a viable alternative. Best, Dr. Behm Hi Kristi,

I don't think that just injecting ozone into the area will clean it up sufficiently. Hi Carol,

The endodontist would do that step, then you would come in to ud twice for the ozone treatment, then the endodontist would refill the tooth. Best, Dr. Behm Hi Sally,

However, many times a loose tooth is due to improper bite. The teeth touch thousands of times a day, and if they don't fit together perfectly, each bite creates torque, which can cause a tooth to become loose, die, become infected/inflamed, cause gum problems, etc. Unfortunately, I have advanced training in adjusting the bite that is not taught in dental school, so most doctors are not aware of it. I suspect your doctors at the VA would not be receptive to ozone treatment or precision bite adjustment, as it is not the norm in dentistry. The only implant material I would recommend is Zirconium ceramic implants. As you know, I personally do not think metal in the mouth is good. Call our office at 446-6747 and speak to one of the team re an appointment. Best, Ray Behm Hi John,

These root canal teeth test strong even after 5 years. Hi Susan,
