Endodontics is a vital branch of dentistry focused on treating the interior of the tooth, where the delicate pulp and nerve tissues reside. This specialty addresses conditions within the root canal system, often involving infected or inflamed pulp tissue. At GAOC, our endodontic treatments are designed to alleviate pain, eliminate infection, and save your natural teeth from extraction. By choosing endodontic care, you’re opting for a procedure that not only relieves discomfort but also preserves your tooth’s functionality.

Our Endodontic Treatments Include:

• Root Canal Treatment: The cornerstone of endodontic therapy, root canal treatment involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system, and then filling and sealing the space to prevent re-infection. This treatment is renowned for its effectiveness in saving teeth that might otherwise need to be removed.
• Apicoectomy: In cases where infection persists or recurs after root canal treatment, an apicoectomy may be necessary. This surgical procedure targets the root tip (apex) and surrounding infected tissue, removing them to achieve a healthy, infection-free end to the root. The area is then sealed with a small filling, providing a new barrier against infection.

Why Endodontic Treatment is Essential

Endodontic treatment plays a crucial role in dental health, offering a way to preserve teeth that are severely damaged by decay or infection. The benefits of endodontic care include:

• Pain Relief: Effectively eliminates pain caused by pulp infection or inflammation.
• Tooth Preservation: Allows you to keep your natural tooth, maintaining your natural bite and preventing other teeth from shifting.
• Prevention of Further Infection: Properly cleaned and sealed teeth are protected against future infections.
