Frequently Asked Questions at Arlington Endodontics

An endodontist is a specialized dentist with advanced training in treating dental pulp diseases and complex oral pain. This expertise is crucial for precise diagnoses and effective treatment of endodontic issues, ensuring optimal care for our patients.

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry dealing with the tooth pulp and surrounding tissues. Understanding the intricate structure of teeth, endodontics plays a vital role in treating conditions that affect the tooth's inner core, ultimately preserving natural teeth and maintaining oral health.

Endodontic treatment, such as root canal therapy, becomes necessary when the tooth's pulp is inflamed or infected. Causes range from deep decay to trauma. Timely treatment is crucial to alleviate pain, prevent abscesses, and save the tooth.

Endodontic treatment involves removing damaged pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This process not only relieves pain but also plays a key role in maintaining the tooth's integrity, allowing you to enjoy a healthy, fully functional smile.
