Endodontists go through extensive schooling and training to not only prescribe medicine but perform invasive and non-invasive surgeries.
Why Visit an Endodontist?
1. Root Canal Therapy
Clean, shape, and fill the root canals of a tooth to remove infection or decay.
Prevent further infection and save the natural tooth.
2. Retreatment of Root Canals
Address issues with previous root canal treatments that may not have healed properly.
Re-clean and reseal the root canals.
3. Treatment of Dental Trauma
Repair and preserve teeth damaged by injury (e.g., cracks, chips, or dislodged teeth).
Treat root fractures or trauma-related infections.
4. Diagnosis of Tooth Pain
Evaluate and diagnose tooth pain that may not be apparent in standard dental exams, often using advanced imaging techniques.
5. Apicoectomy (Surgical Root Procedure)
Perform surgery to remove infected tissue at the tip of the tooth root when a standard root canal isn’t enough.
6. Treatment of Cracked Teeth
Manage and treat teeth with cracks or fractures that extend to the root, preventing further damage or loss.
7. Internal Bleaching
Lighten the color of a tooth from the inside after discoloration due to trauma or previous treatment.
8. Preservation of Natural Teeth
Work to save natural teeth wherever possible, reducing the need for extraction and replacement with prosthetics.
9. Emergency Dental Care
Provide relief for acute pain caused by infections or abscesses and stabilize the affected tooth.
10. Advanced Diagnostics
Use specialized tools and technologies, such as CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), to provide precise imaging and treatment plans.
