Endodontics

Endodontics specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and lesions of the dental nerve and tissues surrounding the root of the tooth. The dental pulp is the inner part of the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.

When to do a root canal

• Advanced tooth decay that has reached the dental nerve.
• Dental infections or abscesses.
• Trauma that has damaged the dental nerve.
• Need for root canal treatment for restorative procedures, such as crowns or bridges.

Advantages of Endodontics:

• Allows preservation of the natural tooth instead of extracting it.
• Relieves pain and discomfort associated with dental nerve infections.
• Helps maintain chewing function and esthetics.

Endodontics is an effective procedure to save teeth affected by dental nerve infections or lesions. It is crucial to seek dental care if you experience persistent pain, sensitivity or swelling in your teeth, as these could be signs of dental pulp problems that may require root canal treatment.
