What is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis and treatment of issues related to the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. The most common endodontic procedure is root canal therapy.

Understanding Root Canal Therapy

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. During the procedure, the damaged pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is then filled and sealed. This helps to eliminate pain and prevent further infection.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

• Severe toothache pain when chewing or applying pressure
• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
• Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
• Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
• Persistent or recurring pimples on the gums

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

• Pain Relief: Eliminates the source of infection and pain, providing immediate relief.
• Preserve Natural Teeth: Saves your natural tooth, maintaining your smile and oral function.
• Prevent Spread of Infection: Removes bacteria and infected tissue, preventing the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums.
• Efficient and Effective: Root canal therapy has a high success rate and can often be completed in one or two visits.

The Root Canal Procedure

Consultation and Diagnosis

Your root canal therapy begins with a thorough examination by [Dr. Payal Chokshi](/about-us). Using advanced diagnostic tools, we will assess the condition of your tooth and determine if a root canal is necessary.

Treatment Process

• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area and ensure your comfort during the procedure.
• Pulp Removal: An opening is made in the crown of the tooth, and the infected pulp is carefully removed.
• Cleaning and Disinfection: The inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected to remove any remaining bacteria.
• Filling and Sealing: The tooth is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection.
• Restoration: In most cases, a crown is placed on the treated tooth to restore its function and appearance.

Post-Treatment Care

After the root canal procedure, it’s important to follow proper oral hygiene practices and attend regular check-ups. Dr. Chokshi will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure your tooth heals properly. Learn more about our dental exams and cleanings.
