It is a specialized area of dentistry that treats the "inside" of a tooth and surrounding tissues. Most common endodontic treatments are root canals or specialized endodontic conditions. We have endodontic dentists that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of many endodontic conditions.

Endodontic conditions are related to the tooth pulp and tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. If the pulp has become affected or damaged then endodontic therapy required to save the tooth. We are deal with infections that occur inside the tooth that are causing tissue damage as well as damage to a teeth. Root canal is a common treatment.

A root canal is a common dental procedure treated with millions of people every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the needs for dental implants, bridges, or other treatments.

You should get alert if you have this type of symptoms:

• Swelling of the teetth.
• Sensitivity to the temperature.
• Heavy pain in the tooth and gums.

Root canal therapy may be done over a number of visits, typically two or three, in the case of teeth with active or long-standing and extensive infection but sometimes it may be possible to complete the treatment in a single visit if the infection is of recent origin and relatively mild in symptoms.

The tooth is anaesthetized and opening is made through the crown of the tooth to the pulp chamber.

X-Rays are taken to ensure that the full length of the root canal is treated. Special files are used to clean the infection and unhealthy pulp and shape the canals. Irrigation is used to clean small offshoots of the main canal. If the roots are unusually shaped or there are other complications, Apical Surgery (Apicoectomy) is advised.

When the space has been cleaned and shaped, root canal will be filled with a biocompatible material. This is usually a flexible plastic material called "gutta-percha” ensuring that the root canals are completely sealed. Normally, a temporary filling will be inserted to close the opening. The temporary filling will be removed before the tooth is restored. If there is no sign of infection the tooth is restored with a permanent filling.

One type of endodontic surgery, apicoectomy focus on the “apex”, of the tooth root. The procedure is used when the root canal treatment alone isn’t sufficient to fix a diseased tooth. By focusing the tip of the root area through the gums, we are early detect any hidden fractures or canals that are still causing tooth pain.Then remove the root apex and seal it to complete the procedure.
