Endodontics

Specialized root canal therapy and endodontic treatments to relieve pain and save your natural teeth.

What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the dental pulp — the soft tissue inside your teeth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, endodontic treatment is necessary to save the tooth.

The most common endodontic procedure is root canal therapy. Despite its reputation, a modern root canal is a routine, comfortable procedure that relieves the severe pain of an infected tooth and preserves it for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a root canal hurt?

Modern root canal therapy is performed under local anesthesia — you should feel no pain during the procedure. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. Any mild soreness afterward typically resolves within a few days.

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals are completed in one or two appointments of 60–90 minutes each, depending on the complexity of the case.

What happens after a root canal?

After root canal therapy, the tooth is typically restored with a crown to protect it and restore full function. The crown appointment is usually scheduled a few weeks after the root canal.

Can I eat after a root canal?

Wait until the anesthesia has fully worn off before eating. Stick to soft foods for the first day or two and avoid chewing on the treated side until your permanent crown is placed.
