When serious pain or frightening-looking damage has you worried, turning to an endodontist will get you the treatments you need as quickly as possible.

The root canal treatment is primarily recommended for cases where a patient has a lot of damage to the inside of a tooth. This damage is often caused by a former or active infection inside the pulp and roots of the tooth. Without prompt treatment, this kind of infection or damage is often very painful. It can make it hard for you to speak or chew normally. Getting treatment restores your health, removes the infection, and reduces the pain you’re feeling.
While there’s a persistent myth that root canal painful, the procedure is nearly painless thanks to modern anesthetics. If you’re concerned about anxiety, sedation dentistry can keep you calm as you undergo the treatment you need. A small hole is made in the tooth in a method similar to drilling a cavity, then the inside of the tooth is cleaned and stabilized. This ensures any lingering infection is treated so it can’t spread or cause you lingering pain.
Endodontists don’t just handle root canal treatments. We also specialize in treating cracked, chipped, and otherwise damaged teeth. Most cracks, even major ones, go largely unnoticed until you’re experiencing pain or already in the dentist’s chair. Without treatment, a cracked tooth will experience decay not unlike a tooth with a cavity. Bacteria can get in past the surface and cause damage to the interior of the tooth. The earlier you get your tooth repaired, the less likely you are to need a root canal or further treatment.
It only takes a stumble and a fall to leave you with serious damage to one or more teeth. Car accidents, contact sports, hiking and other outdoor activities, and workplace risks can all leave you with tooth damage.
