Home Dental Services Endodontics
What is Endodontics? It is a highly specialized area of dentistry that treats the “inside” of a tooth (pulp) and surrounding tissues. Most common endodontic treatments consist of root canals or apicoectomy. We have many dedicated endodontic dentists (or endodontists) that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of challenging endodontic conditions.
Endodontic specialists can provide treatment at any of our 120 participating Great Expressions Dental Centers and Dental Health Group locations. Whether you require a root canal or specialized endodontic care, we have a Great Expressions location near you.
Generally most people with an endodontic condition will experience sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, or swelling or tenderness of the tooth or surrounding tissue.
An endodontist is a dentist who has received specialized education and training following dental school and has earned a specialty degree or certification in the field of endodontics. Endodontists primarily perform surgery and therapy for root canals.
Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp (contained inside the root of a tooth) becomes inflamed or infected due to the introduction of bacteria from deep cavities, tooth decay, periodontal disease, tooth fractures or other conditions.
