Caring for the inside of your tooth

Specialized treatment that saves teeth affected by deep decay, infection or injury.

Saving your natural tooth

What endodontic treatment does

Endodontics is the area of dentistry that focuses on the soft pulp inside your tooth — the nerves and blood vessels that keep it alive. When that pulp becomes inflamed or infected, whether from deep decay, a crack, repeated dental work or trauma, it can cause significant pain and threaten the tooth.

Endodontic therapy — which includes root canal treatment — removes the damaged tissue, thoroughly disinfects the inner canals and seals them to prevent re-infection. The result is simple but powerful: your pain is gone, the infection is stopped, and your natural tooth is preserved rather than extracted. Keeping your own tooth is almost always the healthiest, most natural outcome.

Understanding endodontic treatment
Why it matters

Keep the tooth you already have

The infected pulp is removed, the canals disinfected, and the tooth sealed.

Good to know

Endodontic questions

Is endodontic therapy the same as a root canal?
Root canal treatment is the most common endodontic procedure. Endodontics is the broader field of diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth — the pulp and root canals.
How do I know if I need it?
Lingering pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness when biting, or a darkening tooth can all be signs. An exam and X-ray confirm what’s going on inside the tooth.
What happens after treatment?
The tooth is usually restored with a filling or crown to keep it strong and sealed. We’ll explain the next steps and when to return to complete the restoration.
Is the treatment painful?
No — the area is fully numbed and the procedure relieves existing pain. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is, and any mild soreness afterward settles quickly.
Can the tooth get infected again?
Once treated and properly restored, re-infection is uncommon. Good oral hygiene and regular checkups help keep the tooth healthy for the long term.
Why save the tooth instead of extracting it?
Your natural tooth is almost always worth keeping — it preserves your bite, keeps neighbouring teeth from drifting, and avoids the extra cost and treatment of a bridge or implant later. Endodontic therapy exists precisely so a damaged tooth doesn’t have to be a lost tooth.
