If you’re experiencing tooth discomfort, you may be in need of a root canal or other endodontic treatment. But don’t worry – our experienced team is here to take the intimidation out of the process so you can keep and enjoy your brilliant smile. We pride ourselves on providing top-notch endodontic care that puts the patient experience first. Our professionals use the latest techniques and technology to ensure your comfort and satisfaction for all your endodontic needs.
Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the health of the dental pulp – the soft tissue inside each tooth. When dental pulp becomes infected or damaged due to decay or injury, it can cause pain and even lead to tooth loss. Without proper care, these problems can also affect your overall health.
That’s why endodontic procedures such as root canals and pulpotomies are so important. By removing the infected or damaged tissue and sealing the tooth, we can relieve pain, eliminate the risk of further damage, and help you maintain a healthy smile. Plus, by preventing the need for tooth extractions, endodontic care can help you avoid more expensive and complex dental treatments in the future.
Root canal therapy is a cornerstone of endodontic care, designed to treat infection or damage within the dental pulp. Contrary to common misconceptions, this procedure is a pain-relieving, tooth-preserving solution. During a root canal, our skilled team removes the infected or damaged pulp, thoroughly cleans the tooth’s interior, and seals it to prevent further infection. This not only relieves discomfort but also allows you to keep your natural tooth, maintaining the integrity of your smile.
Pulpotomies are a targeted form of endodontic treatment, often employed in pediatric dentistry. When looking at a pulpotomy vs a root canal, they’re very similar treatments. The main difference is the level of dental pulp removed. A pulpotomy procedure involves the removal of the diseased portion of the dental pulp while preserving the healthy sections, while a root canal removes all the dental pulp. Pulpotomy treatment is often the next step when decay is too large for fillings or a dental crown.
From sugary diets to less than perfect oral hygiene habits, childrens’ teeth are at a higher risk of decay. By focusing on early intervention with treatments like pulpotomies, we can save teeth, prevent the spread of infection, and promote the healthy development of the growing tooth structure.
Endodontic treatment can make the difference between keeping your natural teeth and facing extraction.
