Endodontics-root Canal

Endodontic therapy is significant because it is designed to save a tooth that otherwise would have to be removed, and in terms of functionality, there is no real substitute for your natural tooth.

The pulp can become damaged due to periodontal disease or as a result of a traumatic injury.

However, the most common reasons for pulp damage are extensive decay or fracture that exposes the pulp to bacteria that stimulate infection.

Endodontic infections whilst often painless can present with pain ranging from mild to excruciating. This can be provoked by a host of factors including hot or cold temperatures on consuming food, biting or tapping the tooth or it may be painful without any encouragement.
