ENDODONTIC THERAPY

Patients who need to restore their smiles after trauma or infection of the dental pulp may not realize all the advanced procedures available under one roof at Hillside Dental. Dr. Christopher Lim is a dedicated dental professional who is ready to help patients with a variety of dental concerns. Endodontic therapy, sometimes referred to as a “root canal,” is a treatment that is performed to save a natural tooth from extraction. Endodontic therapy is often required when patients have an infection, disease, or injury to the tooth that affects the dental pulp. The dental pulp is a mass of tissues located inside of the tooth. When removed, the tooth is essentially deadened but the remaining structure can stay. Endodontic therapy is the only option to maintain the tooth before having it removed.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN ENDODONTIC THERAPY?

Assessment to determine candidacy
A small hole is made to access the inner area of the tooth
The dental pulp is removed
The inner canals are cleaned and disinfected
The tooth is filled and sealed
A dental crown is placed
