Endodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the dental pulp. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. When this area becomes damaged or infected, it can cause significant discomfort, increased sensitivity and even lead to the loss of the tooth if left untreated. Endodontic care is essential for preserving the natural tooth structure and preventing the need for extraction.

Our endodontic services include:

• Homeopathic Injections
• Laser Root Canal Therapy
• Ozone Disinfection
• Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
• Pulp Regeneration
• Root Canal Retreatment

The Importance of Endodontic Care

A healthy dental pulp plays a vital role in a tooth’s development and function. However, trauma, deep decay or repeated dental procedures can compromise the pulp, leading to inflammation or infection. Symptoms such as prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold, pain when biting or swelling around the affected tooth may indicate the need for endodontic care. Timely intervention helps eliminate infection, relieve discomfort and maintain the integrity of the tooth.

Preserving Your Natural Teeth

Endodontic treatment is designed to save natural teeth whenever possible. Removing an infected or damaged tooth may seem like a simple solution, but it can lead to complications such as shifting teeth, bite misalignment and difficulties with chewing. Retaining a natural tooth through endodontic care helps preserve the structure of the jawbone and prevents the need for more complex restorative treatments.

What to Expect from Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic care typically involves removing compromised pulp tissue, thoroughly disinfecting the inside of the tooth and sealing it to prevent reinfection. The goal is to restore the function and health of the tooth while maintaining its natural appearance. Depending on the extent of the damage, further restorative measures may be necessary to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
