ENDODONTICS

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating diseases affecting the dental pulp and root tissues. The most common procedure in endodontics is root canal treatment, which saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction due to infection or severe decay.

What Does Endodontic Treatment Involve?

  • Root Canal Treatment: Removes infected or damaged pulp, disinfects the canal, and seals it to prevent reinfection.
  • Endodontic Retreatment: A second root canal procedure performed if the initial treatment fails or if new infection occurs.
  • Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery): A surgical procedure to remove infection from the root tip and surrounding tissues.
  • Treatment of Dental Trauma: Managing cracked teeth, dislodged teeth, and other injuries affecting the pulp.

Benefits of Endodontic Treatment

  • Preserves Natural Teeth: Helps retain the tooth instead of extracting it.
  • Relieves Pain: Eliminates infection and inflammation, restoring oral health.
  • Prevents Further Infection: Proper sealing of the root canal prevents bacteria from spreading.

Endodontic treatments ensure the long-term functionality of natural teeth, promoting oral health and overall well-being.
