Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry dedicated to caring for the inner tooth—the tooth pulp and surrounding tissues. Common procedures include Root Canal Therapy, Pulpotomy, and Apicoectomy.
A root canal is often recommended when the tooth pulp—containing nerves and blood vessels—becomes infected or damaged due to: Cavities or deep decay Tooth injuries or fractures Severe gum infections This treatment effectively addresses pain, discomfort, and sensitivity, helping you keep your natural tooth.
Removing the infected or damaged pulp Cleaning and sealing the inner tooth Restoring the tooth’s structure, often with a crown for protection and durability The treated tooth continues to function like a natural tooth, securely anchored to the bone. Preserve Your Natural Tooth for Life Root canal therapy can sometimes be performed on a healthy tooth to reduce sensitivity or support a dental bridge. This approach is often healthier and more cost-effective than extraction and replacement. Preserve your natural smile with expert endodontic care—your best choice for a healthy, pain-free future!
Retreatment may be necessary if bacteria re-enter a previously treated tooth, often due to decay or untreated canal areas. Symptoms such as swelling, pain during chewing, or even x-ray findings may indicate the need for retreatment.
When inflammation or infection persists around the tip of a tooth root after root canal therapy, an Apicoectomy may be required. This surgical procedure involves removing the root tip and surrounding infected tissue, followed by sealing the root end. Stitches are placed to secure the gum tissue until healing occurs, and within a few months, the bone around the area fully heals.
If you’ve been hesitant about root canal treatment, now is the time to act. Delaying treatment could result in the loss of your tooth, which is irreversible
