Endodontics
Endodontics Overview
What is Endodontic Treatment?
Common Endodontic Procedures
1. Root Canal Treatment
🔹 Used to treat deep cavities, cracked teeth, or infections.
🔹 The infected pulp is removed, the canal is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed.
🔹 A dental crown is usually placed to restore the tooth’s strength.
2. Pulpotomy (Common in Children)
🔹 Only the infected part of the pulp is removed, while the healthy portion is preserved.
🔹 Often done in baby teeth to prevent premature loss.
3. Apicoectomy (Root End Surgery)
🔹 If a root canal fails, a small surgical procedure is done to remove the tip of the tooth’s root and seal it.
4. Cracked Tooth Treatment
🔹 If a tooth is cracked but not fully broken, endodontic procedures help restore and strengthen it.
Why Might You Need Endodontic Treatment?
- You may need endodontic care if you experience:
✔ Severe tooth pain (especially when chewing).
✔ Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold.
✔ Swollen gums or an abscess near the tooth.
✔ Tooth discoloration (indicating nerve damage).
Aftercare & Recovery
✔ Mild discomfort is normal for a few days.
✔ Avoid chewing hard foods until fully healed.
✔ Maintain good oral hygiene to prevent future infections.
Endodontic treatments help save natural teeth, prevent extractions, and restore a healthy smile. Would you like to know more about pain management or cost estimates?
