Endodontics
Endodontic treatment can save a damaged tooth when the dental pulp becomes diseased or has been injured. Traumatic injuries should be dealt with immediately. Damage and decay in an untreated tooth will spread causing the tooth's pulp tissue to die, resulting in the loss of the tooth. Without treatment, an infection inside the tooth will abscess and can spread to the bone surrounding the tooth and beyond.
We are able to save a damaged tooth from loss with proper treatment. Endodontic treatment may also provide patients with an alternative to a dental implant.
