Endodontics in Calgary

Endodontics

Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the study and treatment of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. The dental pulp is the innermost part of the tooth, containing the nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Endodontists are trained in diagnosing and treating issues related to the dental pulp and performing procedures focused on saving your natural teeth.

Why Save the Natural Tooth?

As dentists and dental specialists, our aim is to always preserve the natural tooth when possible. By saving the natural tooth, we can help maintain the natural function and appearance of your mouth. It can also prevent the need for more complex dental procedures while preserving the health of your surrounding teeth and jawbone.

Signs You Might Need Endodontic Treatment

Our dental team may recommend endodontic treatment when you have persistent tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums or gum pimples or abscesses. Deep decay or darkening of the tooth area are also indicators of a deeper issue that will require the expertise of an endodontist.
