Apicoectomy in Sharjah: Get Relief from Persistent Tooth Infections
Struggling with a tooth infection that won’t go away?
An apicoectomy might be the solution for you. At SCMMC in Sharjah, our expert dentists offer this advanced procedure to save your tooth and relieve pain caused by persistent infections.
What is an Apicoectomy, and How Can It Help You?
If a root canal treatment fails or an infection lingers around the tip of the tooth root, an apicoectomy can provide a lasting solution. This minimally invasive surgical procedure involves removing the infected tissue at the tip of the root, sealing the area, and preserving the tooth. It’s an effective way to treat infections that cannot be resolved through standard root canal therapy.
Don’t let a stubborn infection ruin your smile.

Apicoectomy vs. Root Canal Treatment: What’s the Difference?
You may wonder, why not just try another root canal treatment? Here’s the difference:
Root Canal Treatment
Removes infection from inside the tooth but may not address infection at the tip of the root.
Apicoectomy
A surgical solution for infections around the tip of the root that root canal therapy can’t reach.
If you’re dealing with a persistent infection after a root canal, an apicoectomy could be the solution to save your tooth.
