When the inside of your tooth (the pulp) becomes damaged or infected, it can cause serious pain — and put your oral health at risk. Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on treating these issues and saving natural teeth whenever possible.
Endodontics focuses on the soft tissue inside your tooth — the pulp — which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When this pulp becomes infected or inflamed, endodontic treatment can:
Remove infection
Relieve pain
Save your natural tooth
Prevent the need for extraction
We provide a range of endodontic services to restore and protect your smile:
Non-surgical root canals – Clean out infected pulp and fill the space with a safe material.
Surgical root canals (apicoectomy) – Remove infection below the gumline with a small incision.
Retreatment – Repair a tooth that didn’t heal properly after a previous root canal.
Don’t ignore these common symptoms:
Persistent tooth pain (sharp, throbbing, or dull ache)
Sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn’t go away
Swelling in the gums or face
Pimple-like bumps on the gums near the tooth
