What is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. It primarily deals with the soft tissue inside the tooth, commonly known as the “nerve,” and includes procedures like root canal treatment to save infected or damaged teeth.

Why Endodontic Treatment is Important?

Root canal treatment preserves your natural teeth, prevents further infection, and maintains oral health while relieving pain effectively.

Saves natural teeth from extraction
Relieves severe tooth pain caused by infection or decay
Prevents spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums
Maintains natural chewing and biting function
Preserves the aesthetic appearance of your smile

Types of Endodontic Treatments

We provide comprehensive endodontic solutions tailored to each patient’s condition:

Root Canal Treatment (Single Tooth)

Used to remove infected pulp from a single tooth, clean and disinfect the canals, and seal them to prevent future infection. This is the most common endodontic procedure to save decayed or damaged teeth.

Multiple Root Canal Treatment (Molars & Premolars)

Molars and premolars may have 2–4 canals. Advanced tools and microscopes allow precise cleaning, shaping, and sealing of all canals, ensuring complete infection removal.

Retreatment of Root Canals

Sometimes previous root canal treatments fail due to incomplete cleaning or reinfection. Retreatment involves reopening the tooth, removing old filling material, and re-cleaning the canals to restore health.

Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy)

In certain cases, surgical intervention is needed when infection persists at the root tip. This procedure removes the infected tissue and seals the root end to save the tooth.

Pulp Capping and Vital Pulp Therapy

Used for teeth with deep decay but healthy pulp. The procedure stimulates healing and preserves the vitality of the nerve, avoiding the need for a full root canal.
