Why Might I Need Endodontic Care?

There are a few reasons you may be prescribed some endodontic treatment by the dentists. Usually, if you get a cavity, the proper thing to do is get a filling. However, if the tooth decay is too severe, you may require more extensive treatment. The dentists may need to remove debris and damaged tooth pulp before patching the hole and fixing the problem. Tooth decay left unchecked can weaken your tooth and cause it to crumble from the inside out.

Another common reason for endodontic treatment is when a tooth’s root system becomes damaged or infected. The dentists will perform what is known as root canal therapy, where they go under the gumline to the root system, clean the debris, remove any damaged or infected roots, and then seal the root system again to prevent further damage. A tooth infection can be extremely dangerous, so treat it quickly.
