Endodontics
Root canal treatment with technology and comfort to preserve your teeth.
Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on treating the inside of teeth, more specifically the dental pulp, which is the inner part of the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. When the dental pulp is infected or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and sensitivity to cold and heat. In such cases, devitalisation, also known as root canal treatment, is the recommended procedure to save the tooth.
The devitalisation process involves removing the dental pulp and filling the resulting space with a filling material. Although it is a delicate surgery, it is relatively painless and can be done in just one session.
It is important to remember that devitalisation is not the only treatment option for infected or inflamed dental pulp. In some cases, the dentist may recommend endodontic surgery to save the tooth.
In summary, Endodontics is an important specialty for oral health, which can save teeth and prevent intense pain. If you are experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity or have noticed a change in the colour of your tooth, schedule an appointment to assess the health of your tooth and decide the best treatment.
