Endodontics
Dental issues are not exclusive to the outside of teeth. For problems beneath the tooth surface, you need the expertise of an endodontist.
What is Endodontics?
Endodontists commonly treat damage caused by:
Specialists in Tooth Pulp
Endodontists complete at least two more years of training beyond dental school to develop the technical skills required to diagnose and treat issues within the tooth. Experts in root canal procedures, implants and other complex dental procedures in the interior of the tooth, these specialists dedicate their time to treating dental pulp issues.
Given the important role they play in treating pulp and root tissues, endodontists have been referred to as specialists in saving teeth.
Common Endodontic Procedures at Our UK Dental Practices
Severe toothache may be an indication that there is an issue inside your tooth. Under layers of hard enamel and protective dentin, infection or other issues may have found a way to your tooth’s interior.
When it comes to diagnosing and treating complex causes of tooth pain, endodontists are known for performing many types of procedures, namely:
- Root canal treatment: An endodontist accesses and removes diseased or injured pulp tissue from within an affected tooth, cleans and disinfects the area then fills and seals the tooth.
- Dental implant surgery: The endodontist surgically places dental implants in the jawbone of patients who elect this treatment to resolve issues with missing teeth.
- Tooth extraction: Though endodontists can often save an infected tooth, in cases where repairing the existing tooth is not possible as tissues are too severely damaged, they must pull the tooth.
