What Is Regenerative Endodontic Therapy?
Regenerative endodontic therapy is an innovative procedure designed to restore the health of a damaged or infected tooth by regenerating the pulp tissue rather than removing it. Unlike traditional root canals, this procedure encourages your body's natural healing process to regenerate healthy pulp tissue, preserving the tooth and preventing the need for more invasive treatments. We practice regenerative endodontics at Purchase Endodontics to help Paducah, KY patients address dental decay while avoiding more invasive treatments. Dr. Scott D. Seitzinger and Dr. Daniela K. Shields specialize in regenerative dental care, offering you a more natural approach to restoring your tooth's health with minimal discomfort. If you're struggling with tooth pain or decay, contact Purchase Endodontics to learn if regenerative endodontics can help you safeguard your smile.
How Do You Perform Regenerative Endodontic Procedures?
Dr. Seitzinger or Dr. Shields will start your regenerative endodontic procedure by cleaning the infected pulp from your tooth and carefully removing the damaged tissue while preserving any healthy pulp. After cleaning the area, they will introduce growth factors or stem cells into the pulp chamber using a small syringe. These biological materials stimulate your body's natural healing process, promoting the regeneration of healthy pulp tissue. Once the pulp has regenerated, the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection, and the healing process continues naturally. This procedure helps preserve your tooth, reduce the need for more invasive treatments like extractions, and restore your tooth's health with minimal discomfort.

In 63 Years, I have NEVER met a Dentist as kind as Dr. Seitzinger! He, has set the BAR so high NO other Dentist will be remotely able too IMPRESS Me !Pastor Cave
Dr Shields discovered a tooth needing a root canal that previous dentists could not find! It was the source of my husband’s sinus infection. She performed a quick and painless root canal & we were out in an hour, start to finish! She’s quite awesome!
Dr. Shields and her assistant are absolute gems. Thank you both!
The best dental office I have ever been to. Everyone is extremely kind. Would recommend to anyone!
Best experience ever! - The whole staff was incredibly nice and I was in on time. Dr. Shield’s came in and explained everything she was going to do and why. I had always heard horror stories about a root canal but it wasn’t bad at all. If I could go there for ALL my dental needs I certainly would.
