What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that treats the inner structure of the tooth, including the pulp, nerves, and root canals. When this tissue becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental work, root canal therapy is often the best solution to save the tooth.

When Is Root Canal Therapy Needed?
You may benefit from endodontic treatment if you experience:
-
Persistent tooth pain or pressure
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold
-
Swelling or tenderness near the gums
-
Darkening of a tooth
-
Infection or abscess seen on X-rays
Early treatment helps prevent the spread of infection and avoids tooth extraction.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment allows you to:
-
Relieve pain caused by infection or inflammation
-
Preserve your natural tooth structure
-
Prevent infection from spreading to nearby teeth and bone
-
Restore normal chewing and speaking function
Modern techniques make root canal therapy safe, effective, and far more comfortable than its reputation suggests.

What to Expect During a Root Canal

Comprehensive Evaluation

04
Cleaning & Disinfection
Infected tissue is removed and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
02
Comfort & Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is carefully administered to numb the area and ensure a calm, pain-free experience.
05
Filling & Sealing
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection.
03
Tooth Isolation & Access
The tooth is isolated and a small opening is made to safely access the infected pulp inside.
06
