What is Endodontics (Root Canals) ?
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and injuries of the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and surrounding tissues. Root canal treatment, a common endodontic procedure, involves removing infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. At Egedent Dental Clinic, our skilled dentists use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to provide effective and pain-free root canal treatments.
Benefits of Endodontics (Root Canals)
- Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates the severe pain caused by infected or inflamed dental pulp.
- Tooth Preservation: Root canals save natural teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted, maintaining your natural smile.
- Prevention of Infection Spread: Treating the infection at its source prevents it from spreading to other teeth and tissues.
- Enhanced Oral Health: Addressing pulp infections improves overall oral health and prevents further complications.
- Aesthetics and Functionality: Restored teeth look and function like natural teeth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, teeth that have undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime.

- Root Canal Procedure:
- Access: A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp.
- Cleaning: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
- Shaping: The root canals are shaped to prepare them for filling.
- Sealing: The cleaned and shaped canals are filled with a biocompatible material (usually gutta-percha) and sealed to prevent re-infection.
- Restoration: After the root canal treatment, the tooth is restored with a filling or a crown to protect it and restore its function and appearance.
