Endodontics: Expert Care for Saving Your Natural Teeth
Endodontics: Preserving the Health of Your Natural Teeth
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating problems related to the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of your teeth. The dental pulp is the soft inner core of the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected, inflamed or damaged, it can lead to significant discomfort and compromise the health of the entire tooth.
Endodontic care plays a critical role in saving natural teeth and avoiding extraction. At our dental practice, we offer comprehensive endodontic services to help relieve pain, restore function and maintain the long-term health of your smile.
When Is Endodontic Treatment Necessary?
You may need endodontic treatment if you are experiencing symptoms such as:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to heat and cold
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Discoloration or darkening of a tooth
- Pain when chewing or applying pressure
- Presence of a pimple-like bump on the gums (sign of an abscess)
These symptoms may indicate an infection or injury within the pulp, which can occur due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, a cracked tooth or trauma. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to further complications or the need for tooth removal.
