Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy)
Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy) – Saving Your Natural Teeth
At Smile Dental Care, we specialize in Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy) to preserve damaged or infected teeth, preventing the need for extractions. A root canal is a highly effective procedure that removes infection, relieves pain, and restores the natural tooth’s function, ensuring long-term oral health.
Why is Root Canal Therapy Needed?
A root canal is required when the pulp (inner soft tissue) of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to:
Deep cavities or untreated decay.
Cracked or fractured teeth.
Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Persistent toothache or sensitivity to hot/cold.
Swelling or tenderness in the gums.
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
Pain when chewing or biting.
Root Canal Treatment Process
Diagnosis & X-Ray – Identifying the extent of the infection.
Anesthesia & Pulp Removal – Ensuring a pain-free procedure while removing infected tissue.
Cleaning & Disinfection – Eliminating bacteria and sealing the canals to prevent reinfection.
Tooth Restoration – Placing a dental crown for protection and strength.
