Endodontics

We perform endodontic therapy to prevent tooth extraction when the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth becomes damaged, infected, or inflamed. The pulp is contained inside the root canal, a hollow chamber inside a tooth root. Once we remove the damaged pulp tissue, we carefully clean the canal and seal it. We then place a crown to protect the tooth and restore its functionality. Signs you may need endodontic treatment include pain, gum swelling, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, and discoloration of the tooth.
