What is an endodontist?

Saving Teeth

Endodontics focuses on treating problems deep inside the tooth — specifically the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this inner tissue becomes inflamed, infected, or damaged due to decay or injury, root canal therapy may be needed to relieve pain and save the tooth. Treatment may involve:

• Diagnosis and treatment of dental pain
• Routine and complex root canals
• Retreatments
• Endodontic surgery
• Treatment of traumatic dental injuries
• Treatment of cracked teeth
• Internal bleaching
• Vital pulp therapies

At Alexander Family Dentistry, we use state-of-the-art technology, such as digital imaging, operating microscopes, ultrasonic instrumentation, and fiber optics while performing endodontic treatment. Technology, along with specialized techniques, gives us an accurate view of the tooth and allows us to treat the tooth quickly and comfortably.

By choosing to receive treatment, you are choosing to keep your natural teeth as a healthy foundation for years to come.
