Endodontics
What Is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment, also called root canal therapy, treats infection or damage in the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). Rather than removing the tooth, it saves and restores it, helping patients keep their natural smile.
When is a Root Canal Needed?
You may need root canal treatment if you have a deep cavity, a cracked or injured tooth, or an infection at the root. Symptoms can include severe toothache, sensitivity, swelling, or an abscess. Without treatment, the infection can spread and the tooth may be lost.
Benefits and Treatment Process
Root canal treatment relieves pain, stops infection, and preserves your natural tooth. The procedure involves numbing the area, removing infected pulp, cleaning and shaping the canals, then filling and sealing them. Finally, a crown or filling is placed to restore strength and function.
Aftercare and Comfort
Thanks to modern techniques, treatment is no more uncomfortable than a filling, and most patients feel relief soon after. Following aftercare advice, protecting the tooth with a crown, and keeping up with regular check-ups will help maintain long-term dental health.
