Endodontics

Endodontics is a wing of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of the dental pulp and the tissues adjoining the root of the tooth. An endodontist is specialized in preserving the tooth by treating the soft pulp tissue of the infected tooth.

At Twin Cities Dental, the expert endodontists perform a detailed examination of the mouth to provide them with the appropriate treatment for the dental condition. They treat traumatic dental injuries and perform dental implants to replace the root of the tooth after the treatment. 

Why Do You Need Endodontic Treatment?

There are various signs and symptoms that signal that the patient may need endodontic treatment, a few of which have been listed below.

• The patient may have an exposed pulp due to cavity
• Accidents may have caused damage to the pulp
• An infected tooth may signify that the patient requires endodontic treatment.
• The patient may experience tooth sensitivity to heat and cold.

What Is the Purpose of an Endodontic Treatment?

An endodontist performs procedures that can help save the teeth from further damage. The endodontic treatments help to sterilize the inflamed root canal. They remove the diseased pulp from the tooth and cleanse the root canal system. Some dentists also reshape the root canal after the procedure. They also perform dental filling and seal the tooth that has been treated. 

What is the Procedure of Endodontic Treatment?

An endodontist evaluates the tooth infected by the cavities. The dentist uses a digital imaging system to analyze the tooth in detail. Anesthesia is used to numb the area in treatment so that discomfort during the treatment can be avoided. A small incision is made in the tooth and the infected pulp and nerves are removed using dental tools. After decontaminating the hole created through the process, the dentist fills it with the patient's choice material. It helps to prevent infection and promotes the healing process. 

Endodontists ensure maximum comfort for the patient and provide the best dental solutions for them. They make the maximum effort into saving the tooth rather than extracting it.
