Resorption, not to worry
By: MJ
Though a lot of people might panic at the sound of root resorption (after all? Who wouldn’t?), it’s actually treatable by regular oral hygiene and visits to the dentists for further instructions. Root resorption is actually much more common than everyday people realize. With trends in orthopedic procedures going on, it’s not surprising that a lot of people experience root resorption.
To overcome this, dentists monitor the progress of the resorption through x-rays. Everyday oral hygiene should be observed, ie. brushing your tooth, flossing, etc. Care should be taken not to exert pressure on the gums as this will only cause more trauma on the roots.
