Frequently Asked Questions About Endodontics
What is endodontics?
Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating issues related to the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. Treatments often include root canal therapy, aimed at saving teeth that might otherwise need extraction.
Why would I need a root canal?
A root canal may be necessary if you experience severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, or swelling in the gums. These symptoms often indicate infection within the tooth's pulp, and timely intervention can prevent further complications
What should I expect during a root canal procedure?
During a root canal, you'll receive local anesthesia to ensure comfort. The dentist will then create an opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber, remove the infected tissue, clean the interior, and seal it to protect against future infection.
How can I care for my teeth after a root canal?
Post-procedure, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Additionally, follow your dentist’s specific aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications.
