We solve from the roots
Endodontics is a field of dentistry that focuses on the treatment of dental problems related to the dental pulp and root of the tooth. Our team of highly trained endodontists is here to provide you with information about endodontics and how it can help you preserve your natural teeth.
Endodontics, commonly known as "root canal treatment," is a dental procedure performed to remove damaged or infected dental pulp and save a tooth that would otherwise be doomed to extraction. The dental pulp is the tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.
Common Symptoms of Cavities
- Severe dental pain when chewing or applying pressure to the tooth.
- Extreme tooth sensitivity to heat or cold.
- Swelling in the gums near the affected tooth.
- A visible tooth abscess in the form of a bump on the gums.
If you are experiencing severe dental pain or have symptoms that could indicate the need for endodontic treatment, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our endodontists.
Endodontic process
Diagnosis
The endodontist will perform a dental examination and x-rays to evaluate the condition of the tooth and determine if a root canal is necessary.
Treatment
During the endodontic procedure, damaged dental pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and sealed to prevent future infections.
Restoration
After a root canal, the tooth is restored with a dental crown to strengthen it and protect it from further damage.
