What is Endodontics?

Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of your teeth? Endodontics is the dental specialty that delves deep into the root canal system to diagnose and treat problems with dental pulp. The dental pulp, which is made up of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, is the vital inner core of your teeth that keeps them healthy and functional. When the dental pulp becomes infected or damaged, it can cause severe pain, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. Endodontics focuses on preserving and restoring the dental pulp and root canal system to help you maintain a healthy, pain-free smile.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a common endodontic treatment that is used to save a tooth that has been damaged or infected in the dental pulp.

Why is Root Canal therapy performed?

Root canal therapy is performed to treat dental pulp that has become infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or other factors. Without treatment, the infection can spread and cause pain, swelling, and even abscesses. Root canal therapy can save the tooth and prevent the need for extraction.

When is Root Canal therapy necessary?

Root canal therapy may be necessary if you are experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling or tenderness in the gums, or if there is an abscess or infection visible on an x-ray. Your dentist will perform a thorough examination and may take x-rays to determine if root canal therapy is needed.
We understand that many patients feel anxious or apprehensive about root canal therapy. That’s why we use the latest techniques and technology to ensure that our procedures are as comfortable and effective as possible. Our skilled endodontic team is dedicated to helping you feel relaxed and at ease throughout the process. Our goal is to save your natural teeth and help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure that your root canal therapy is successful and that you’re comfortable throughout the process.

Pulpectomy

Pulpectomies is an endodontic treatment that involves removing the infected pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canal system of a baby tooth. This procedure is typically recommended when a baby tooth has extensive decay or trauma that has resulted in pulp damage or infection.
The pulp of a tooth contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that help the tooth develop and grow. When the pulp becomes infected or damaged, it can cause severe pain and may even lead to tooth loss if left untreated. A pulpectomy is a safe and effective way to remove the infected or damaged pulp and save the tooth. During a pulpectomy procedure, our skilled 915 team will use specialized tools to remove the damaged pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canal system of the tooth. Once the pulp has been removed, the empty space will be cleaned and disinfected to prevent reinfection.

In most cases, a filling material will be placed in the space left by the removed pulp. This will help to seal the tooth and prevent bacteria from entering the root canal system. After the filling is placed, a crown may be placed on the tooth to protect it from further damage. It’s important to seek treatment for a baby tooth that has undergone pulpectomy as soon as possible to prevent complications and ensure the best possible outcome.
