What is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, is a specialized dental procedure performed to save and restore a severely damaged or infected tooth. It involves the removal of the infected dental pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Once the damaged pulp is removed, the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.
Signs You May Need Endodontic Treatment:
Our Endodontic Treatment Process:
- Consultation and Examination: During your initial visit, our skilled endodontist will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the condition of your tooth and determine if endodontic treatment is necessary. We will also discuss your symptoms and address any concerns you may have.
- Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area.
- Pulp Removal: Once the tooth is numb, our endodontist will create a small access opening in the tooth to remove the infected dental pulp using specialized instruments. This step is painless due to the anesthesia.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: The inside of the tooth, including the root canals, is carefully cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent future infections.
- Filling and Sealing: After thorough cleaning, the root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. The access opening is then sealed with a dental filling to prevent recontamination.
- Restoration: Depending on the extent of the initial damage, a dental crown or filling may be recommended to restore the tooth's strength, functionality, and appearance.

FAQ
Endo” is the Greek word for “inside” and “odont” is Greek for “tooth.” Endodontic treatment treats the inside of the tooth. Root canal treatment is one type of endodontic treatment. To understand endodontic treatment, it helps to know something about the anatomy of the tooth. Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called the dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue and creates the surrounding hard tissues of the tooth during development. The pulp extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the roots where it connects to the tissues surrounding the root. The pulp is important during a tooth’s growth and development. However, once a tooth is fully mature it can survive without the pulp, because the tooth continues to be nourished by the tissues surrounding it.
Endodontic treatment (root canal
) is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, an injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
Signs to look for include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, discoloration of the tooth, and swelling, drainage and tenderness in the lymph nodes as well as nearby bone and gingival tissues. Sometimes, however, there are no symptoms.
