Endodontics in Mississauga Ontario
Care for Problems Inside the Tooth
Endodontics focuses on conditions involving the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of teeth.
When the inside of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, appropriate treatment may help preserve the natural tooth.
Why Dental Pulp Becomes Damaged
Deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures can affect the pulp inside a tooth.
Symptoms may include persistent pain, temperature sensitivity, discomfort when chewing, or swelling.
Some affected teeth may produce very few symptoms.
Endodontic Treatment
Treatment often involves removing damaged tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning the internal spaces, and sealing them.
The goal is to address infection or inflammation while retaining the remaining natural structure whenever appropriate.
Diagnosis Matters
Dental pain can have several causes.
A detailed examination and appropriate imaging help determine whether the problem originates inside the tooth or from another dental condition.
