What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that involves the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the pulp and root canals of teeth. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that help support tooth development and sensation.

When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, endodontic treatment may be recommended to remove the affected tissue, manage infection, and support the surrounding tooth structure.

Endodontic Treatments at White Oak Dental

Endodontic care at White Oak Dental may include the following treatments, depending on individual assessment:

• Root canal therapy, which is used to remove infected or inflamed pulp tissue and help preserve the natural tooth
• Wisdom tooth extractions, which may be recommended when third molars are impacted, infected, or contributing to pain or crowding

Treatment recommendations are based on clinical findings, diagnostic imaging, and overall oral health considerations.

When Endodontic Treatment May Be Recommended

Endodontic treatment may be recommended when a tooth shows signs of internal inflammation or infection. This may be identified through symptoms, clinical examination, or diagnostic imaging.

Possible signs that further evaluation may be needed include:

• Tooth sensitivity
• Persistent or recurring tooth discomfort
• Swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums
• Changes noted on dental X-rays

Symptoms vary between individuals, and in some cases, concerns may be identified during routine dental exams.
