Frequently Asked Questions: Endodontic Evaluations in Palmetto Bay, FL
Endodontics is the area of dentistry concerned with diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of teeth.
Many teeth require a crown after root canal therapy because removing infected tissue and existing decay can leave the tooth more vulnerable to fracture. The appropriate restoration depends on the individual tooth.
Persistent tooth pain, lingering temperature sensitivity, discomfort when biting, swelling, or symptoms following a dental injury can indicate a problem inside the tooth. An examination is needed to determine the cause.
Local anesthesia and treatment techniques are designed to keep patients comfortable. The purpose of treatment is often to relieve pain caused by inflammation or infection inside the tooth.
In many cases, yes. Endodontic treatment is designed to remove diseased or infected tissue while preserving the remaining natural tooth when appropriate.
An untreated infection can progress and affect tissues surrounding the tooth. Depending on the condition of the tooth, treatment may become more complicated or the tooth may eventually become impossible to preserve.
Not exactly. Root canal therapy is an endodontic procedure, while endodontics encompasses the broader diagnosis and treatment of problems affecting the inside of a tooth and its roots.
Many PPO dental plans provide partial coverage for medically necessary endodontic procedures. Coverage varies by plan, so our team can help review your benefits before treatment.
