An endodontist specializes in the tooth pulp and the tissues surrounding the root. The pulp of a tooth contains many nerves and blood vessels. When these tissues become sick or wounded, the pulp is unable to regenerate on its own. As a consequence, the pulp will die and produce immense pain that requires a root canal treatment. Endodontics saves the tooth and avoids extraction, which is the most popular approach to root canal treatment. 

Root Canal Surgery

Fractures or hidden canals that do not appear on x-rays yet still cause pain in the tooth may be located with endodontic surgery. Damaged root surfaces or surrounding bone may also be treated with this procedure. Apicoectomies or root-end resections are the most common procedures used to save damaged teeth. 

Root Canal Treatment

More than 14 million root canal treatments are performed annually in the United States, and self-proclaimed experts are citing out-of-date research. Don’t be fooled! This is a safe, reliable, and nearly painless procedure that can save your natural teeth and avoid the need for dental implants or bridges.
