Endodontics: Getting to the root of your problem
Toothaches are often the result of tooth decay reaching into the living nerve roots inside teeth. The dead or dying root can cause throbbing pain and it must be removed to stop the pain and preserve the tooth.
Once the infected root and any abscess is removed, we fill the empty canal with a highly specialized antiseptic filler material called gutta-percha. Nerve root structures vary widely among patients and even within their own teeth. For most patients without complicated root structures, Kindle Dental provides convenient onsite root canal therapy with excellent results.
When a patient has a complicated nerve root, we will refer them to a skilled endodontist for the best possible outcome. Endodontists have years of special training in root canal therapy. In either case, we always give patients the choice and do what is in their best interests.
