Endodontics

Endodontics, commonly known as root canal therapy, focuses on treating the inside of the tooth, specifically the dental pulp—the soft tissue containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain or lead to an abscess. Endodontic treatment, including root canal therapy, helps save the tooth by removing the infected tissue, disinfecting the tooth’s interior, and sealing it to prevent future issues.

At Beyond 32, we are committed to preserving your natural smile. Our endodontist specializes in saving teeth that are damaged, decayed, or infected, providing you with comprehensive care that prioritizes your comfort and long-term dental health.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is the most common endodontic procedure. Here’s what to expect: - Initial Consultation: Our endodontist will conduct a thorough exam, including X-rays, to assess the condition of your tooth. - Treatment: During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and shaped, and a biocompatible material is placed to seal the tooth. - Restoration: After the root canal is completed, a dental crown or filling is typically required to restore the tooth to its full function and appearance, and this will be completed by our general practitioner.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need endodontic treatment: - Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot and cold - Swelling and tenderness in the gums - Deep decay or darkening of the tooth - A chipped or cracked tooth

Post-Treatment Care
