External Resorption? What Is It & Treatment! #shorts

Though rare, external resorption occurs when a tooth gradually dissolves itself from the outside in. There's also internal resorption, where the tooth self-dissolves from the inside out. Both are believed to be autoimmune conditions, often linked to overall immune strength. When detected, we investigate for other infections in the mouth, like old root canals or extracted wisdom teeth.

Treatment? That's the challenge. Long-term solutions remain elusive. We closely monitor the condition, bolster your immune system, and aim to preserve the tooth as long as possible. Eventually, removal may be necessary.
