An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating problems related to the inside of the tooth, particularly the dental pulp and root canals.
Choosing an endodontist is often the best dental decision you can make when you’re dealing with complex tooth pain or need advanced root canal care.
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat an infection or damage to the pulp (the soft inner tissue) of a tooth. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue, and if it becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures, it can cause pain and discomfort. The goal of a root canal is to remove the infected or damaged pulp, disinfect the area, and seal it to prevent further infection.
Root canal retreatment is a procedure performed when a previous root canal treatment fails, or if the tooth develops new issues after the initial procedure. Even though root canals are generally successful, in some cases, the infection can return, or problems can arise that necessitate retreatment.
Endodontic internal bleaching is a dental procedure used to lighten or whiten a tooth from the inside after it has undergone a root canal treatment. This is commonly done for teeth that have become darkened or discolored due to trauma, infection, or the root canal procedure itself.
A regular whitening procedure cannot treat this kind of discoloration.
An apicoectomy, also known as root-end surgery, is a minor surgical procedure that removes the tip of a tooth’s root, known as the apex, along with surrounding tissue. This procedure is typically recommended when a root canal treatment has failed to completely heal the tooth or if there’s a persistent infection at the root tip. By addressing the problem directly at the root, an apicoectomy aims to eliminate infection and preserve the natural tooth structure.
Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is a dental procedure aimed at preserving and treating the healthy, living pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels) when it’s been injured or exposed—but not infected or dead.
This procedure is typically common for our younger patients (under 18 years old). It is only recommended when there is no swelling or abscess around the tooth and it is not loose. Under controlled and ideal circumstances, it is a very successful treatment option for young developing teeth.
