Endodontics

Endodontic treatment involves maintaining the inner dental pulp of the tooth. This is essential as any tooth infection that is left untreated can spread to the root, affecting the integrity of the tooth. 

When to See an Endodontist

If you experience severe tooth pain, sensitivity to heat and cold, or swollen gums, you may need a root canal. An endodontist can help you with this issue. They specialize in diagnosing and treating tooth infections.

Care After Endodontic Treatment

After treatment, you can brush and floss your teeth as usual, but be very gentle around the treatment area. It is also best to avoid any hard foods to minimize discomfort.
