Endodontics

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the treatment of the inner tissues of the tooth, known as the pulp. The most common procedure in endodontics is a root canal, which is performed when the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or other issues. Endodontic treatments aim to save damaged or infected teeth by removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further damage. This allows patients to retain their natural teeth and avoid extraction.

Endodontics plays a crucial role in preserving natural teeth and preventing the need for extractions. Through endodontic treatments like root canal therapy, we can save teeth that would otherwise be lost due to infection or injury. The procedures also alleviate pain, prevent infection from spreading, and restore the function of the tooth, ensuring your smile stays healthy.

At Perfect Smile of South Florida, we offer comprehensive endodontic care using the latest techniques and technology to ensure effective and comfortable treatment. Our goal is to save your natural teeth and prevent the need for extraction, providing you with a healthier smile.

Steps of an Endodontic Procedure:

1. Consultation and Diagnosis: We begin by thoroughly evaluating your dental condition through X-rays and a detailed examination. This helps us determine the extent of the infection or damage and plan the appropriate course of treatment.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area, ensuring that you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
3. Cleaning the Root Canals: The dentist will make a small opening in the crown of the tooth and remove the infected pulp. The inner canals are then cleaned, shaped, and prepared for sealing.
4. Sealing the Tooth: Once the canals are cleaned and shaped, they are filled with a biocompatible material to seal them and prevent further infection.
5. Restoring the Tooth: After the root canals are sealed, the tooth is typically restored with a filling or crown to provide added strength and protect it from future damage.
6. Follow-up Care: We provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and monitor your healing progress during follow-up appointments.
