Endodontic Therapy
Severe, throbbing tooth pain is more than just an inconvenience; it's often a sign that the delicate inner nerve, or pulp, of your tooth is infected or inflamed. Endodontics is the specialized field of dentistry focused on treating these issues inside the tooth. The goal of endodontic therapy is to save your natural tooth, eliminate debilitating pain, and prevent the infection from spreading. At Veda Family Dentistry, we provide expert endodontic care with a gentle touch and modern techniques to restore your tooth's health and your comfort.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
The most common endodontic procedure is root canal therapy. This treatment becomes necessary when bacteria, often from deep decay or a crack, reach the pulp chamber and cause an infection. Left untreated, this can lead to an abscess, bone loss, and severe pain.
The root canal process involves:
Carefully accessing the inside of the tooth.
Removing the infected or inflamed pulp tissue.
Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the inner canals.
Filling and sealing the space to prevent re-infection.
After the procedure, the tooth is no longer vital and typically requires a dental crown to protect it from fracture and restore its full strength.
