What is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of dental pulp and nerve-related issues. The dental pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Endodontic treatment is typically needed when the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to tooth decay, cracks or chips in the tooth, or trauma.

What to Expect

Saving your natural teeth

During endodontic treatment at Brush Dental Studio, our experienced team will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp and clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth. We will then fill and seal the tooth to prevent further infection and restore its function.

Endodontic FAQ's

  • What are the Symptoms of a Tooth That Needs Endodontic Treatment?

    Symptoms that indicate the need for endodontic treatment include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, swelling, and tenderness in the gums surrounding the affected tooth.

  • Is Endodontic Treatment Painful?

    Endodontic treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild pain and discomfort may occur after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs.

  • What Happens If I Don't Get Endodontic Treatment?

    If left untreated, an infected or inflamed tooth can lead to serious complications, including abscesses, bone loss, and tooth loss. Endodontic treatment is necessary to save the natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction.

  • How Long Does Endodontic Treatment Take?

    The length of endodontic treatment depends on the severity of the tooth damage and the complexity of the case. Most endodontic procedures can be completed in one or two appointments, but more complex cases may require multiple visits.

  • Can I Drive Home After Endodontic Treatment?

    Most patients can safely drive home after endodontic treatment, as the effects of local anesthesia typically wear off within a few hours. However, if you have been given sedation or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy after the procedure, it is best to arrange for someone to drive you home.
