Endodontics deals with the inside of the tooth. The pulp containing nerves and blood vessels. When pulp becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause significant pain and put the tooth at risk.
At Smile On Clinics, endodontic treatment focuses on relieving discomfort, clearing infection, and preserving your natural tooth wherever possible.
Beneath enamel and dentine, pulp kept the tooth alive during development. Once formed, a tooth can survive without pulp. Which is why removing infected pulp can save a tooth that might otherwise be extracted.
Deep decay, cracks into the pulp, trauma, repeated procedures on one tooth, or abscesses may require endodontic care. Symptoms include toothache, prolonged sensitivity, pain when biting, swelling, or darkening of a tooth.
Examination and X-rays determine whether the tooth can be saved and what treatment is needed.
Infected pulp is removed, canals cleaned and shaped, then sealed under local anaesthetic.
A crown often protects the tooth after treatment and restores full function.
Regular check-ups monitor the treated tooth and surrounding bone health.
