Endodontist in Hadfield
Endodontic treatment is a type of dental procedure that is used to treat diseases of the pulp and root canal. The procedure involves removing the damaged pulp and diseased tissue from the tooth and then filling and sealing the root canal. Endodontic treatment is also known as root canal therapy.
Importance of Endodontic treatment
Endodontic treatment is usually performed by a dentist or an endodontist (a specialist in root canal therapy). The procedure can be done in one or two visits, depending on the severity of the pulp damage.
- Endodontic treatment is typically recommended when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected.
- This can happen due to a deep cavity, a crack or chip in the tooth, or due to repeated dental procedures.
- If left untreated, the inflammation and infection can spread to the surrounding tissues and cause serious health problems.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a treatment used to save a tooth that is badly infected or damaged. The procedure involves removing the damaged tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning the area, and then filling and sealing the tooth. Root canal treatment usually saves the tooth and prevents further damage.
