Endodontic Dentistry
 An
endodontist is as doctor specializing in tooth pulp and pulp
problems. Damage to teeth, such as cracks or deep cavities,
can reach down to the nerve tissue and blood vessels residing
in the soft pulp of the tooth. This can cause irreparable
damage. Damage to the pulp can lead to painful swelling, damage
to the jaw bones or muscles, and the formation of abscesses.
Damaged pulp once led to the removal of the tooth. With today's
advancement, however, root canal dentists use a procedure called a root
canal to restore and protect the tooth's nerves and blood
vessels hence saving the tooth.
 Benefits
of Endodontic Treatment
- Removal of bacterial infection from tooth
- Removal of pain
- Prevention of further spread of infection
throughout tooth, to periapical tissue and surrounding bone
Endodontic Treatment
Procedure
 The
endodontist makes a canal in the crown of the tooth that allows
for removal of the damaged pulp. After removal, the dentist
cleans the canal and shapes it to a feasible form for filling.
In some cases the dentist may choose to use medications for
preventing infection by removing germs from the teeth.
During the final visit, the dentist cleans and fills the
root canal and pulp chamber, then applies a gold or porcelain
crown over the tooth to provide extra strength and protection.
Proper oral care and regular dental visits ensure that the
treated tooth remains healthy.
The primary goal of endodontic treatment is to create an
environment within the root canal system which allows for
healing and continued maintenance of the health of periradicular
tissue. A successful procedure is one which has removed
bacteria in the tooth and completely filled the canals.
