According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB10001424127887323297504578579590276114884\">an article<\/a> in <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, currently many scientists are developing a way to use stem cells to regenerate tooth tissue for better dental care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Root canal therapy <\/strong>is used to restore a tooth that has decay that reached the inner pulp, resulting in an often painful infection. Traditionally this is accomplished by removing the decay, replacing it with a dental filling, and capping the tooth with a crown. The tooth will be restored but is now \u2018dead\u2019 inside because you\u2019ve just removed all the living tissue.<\/p>\n<p>What the scientists are working on is a way to get teeth stem cells to regrow dental pulp. This could then be placed inside the infected tooth, allowing it to function like a healthy tooth once again. The pulp tissue helps to detect future infections, so this would provide a even higher-quality dental restoration than the technology that currently exists.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a tooth that is infected, we can help with <strong>root canal therapy<\/strong>. Please give us a call to stop the discomfort and allow us to restore your tooth to health. We hope that in the future, this important dental research will be translated into a new way of performing <strong>root canal therapy <\/strong>that will result in even healthier teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in learning more about\u00a0<strong>general<\/strong> <strong>dentistry<\/strong> or scheduling your next appointment? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistelreno.com\/contact.html\">Call<\/a> us today at\u00a0<strong>El Reno Family Dentistry<\/strong>.
