Natural teeth are very precious and the importance of protecting them is better realized in every bite of food that we consume everyday. Endodontists are dentists with special knowledge who can treat ill natural tooth and help reestablish the tooth structure and ensure it remains healthy and strong.
The tooth comprises of dentin, enamel, root and pulp. The wellness of a tooth structure depends on how healthy these parts are. The pulp is the core of a tooth structure which nurtures the tooth and helps it grow. Inflammation in pulp can harm the entire structure, uprooting the tooth permanently. Our endodontist in Chino, CA takes care of the root canal of a tooth structure and performs surgeries to protect the natural tooth. Our dental practice works towards improving the dental health of people in our locality by delivering genuine dental care to every person who visits our office.
Dental care from endodontist:
Endodontists treat root canal of a tooth. With specialized training in endodontics after graduating as a dentist, endodontists are qualified and more skillful than general dentists when it comes to root canal treatment. Apart from root canal treatment endodontists also perform apicoectomy, a surgery which removes infected tissue from tip of the root of a tooth. This surgery avoids inflammation from spreading in the gums and gives more strength to the root of a tooth.
We also perform re-treatment when the inflammation gets back after the root canal treatment. While root canal treatment can also be performed by general dentists, re-treatment can be done only by endodontists.
We are capable of treating special cases where the cause for illness is not known through X-rays. By performing distinctive surgeries over the root canal just to identify the source of problem endodontists find the cause for tooth ache. Endodontists can also repair broken tooth.
Undergoing root canal treatment is a walk in the breeze to our patients when they are being treated by our experienced endodontist. Patients can rest in comfort while our team takes complete care of their oral cavity.
Frequently asked questions - Endodontic Treatment
When is endodontic treatment needed?
Endodontic treatment is required when the pulp of a tooth is infected or inflamed. The causes of inflammation include deep decay, crack on a tooth, repeated dental procedures and others. If the infected pulp is left untreated, it can cause severe pain and result in an abscess.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Endodontic treatments are performed in order to relieve the pain caused by pulp infection. With anesthetics, patients can feel comfortable during the procedure.
Are there any alternatives to endodontic treatment?
When the pulp of the tooth is infected, the treatment which can be helpful is to perform an endodontic treatment. However, the only alternative to endodontic is to extract the tooth. In order to restore the chewing function and to stop nearby teeth from shifting, one has to replace the extracted tooth with a dental implant or a dental bridge. These procedures require surgery to be performed or a dental procedure to be performed on adjacent teeth, additionally these procedures are costlier and time-consuming than compared to endodontic treatment.
How does an endodontic treatment save a tooth?
The endodontist will carefully remove the infected area of the tooth, cleans and shapes the tooth, then fills and seals the empty space. Thereafter the tooth is covered with a dental crown or other restorations to protect and restore it to be fully functional.
