Endodontic treatment includes procedures carried out to treat the tooth’s nerve if the treatment required is due to trauma, deep caries, or infection. One of the dental specializations available at Highline Dental Clinic is performed by our expert dentists to save jaw bone and gum tissues from root canal infections.
Your teeth have many layers, and the soft tissue called the pulp is present below the hard layer called the dentin, which in turn is present beneath the white enamel. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue and helps the root of your teeth to grow during the developmental stage.
A fully developed tooth can survive independently without the pulp because the surrounding tissue nourishes it. You would require endodontic services like a root canal when the tooth pulp has been infected, inflamed, damaged, or deceased.Â
When you undergo an endodontic procedure, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. The tooth is then restored with a filling or a crown and will continue functioning like any other tooth.

This implies that you won’t frequently need to schedule a consultation far in advance and will instead receive prompt treatment for your dental issue. Hence endodontics is well worth it.
Endodontic therapy involves several procedures, including the removal of pulpal tissue, contouring and filing of the root canals, obturation of the root canal area, and insertion of a long-lasting dental restoration.
Primary teeth are treated endodontically using pulpectomy, formocresol pulpotomy, direct pulp capping, and indirect pulp capping. Both primary and permanent teeth with diseased or necrotic pulps can be treated using the same general concepts.
Crowns are made in the form of the original tooth from gold, or porcelain bonded to metal, ceramic, or resin. Endodontic operations including root canal therapy and crown installation can be performed by both endodontists and general dentists.
An endodontist will administer a root canal as an endodontic procedure in an effort preserving a natural tooth. It is one of the most often performed dental operations, mostly because the tooth pulp is inflamed and infected. The pulp that is damaged is extracted during a root canal.
