Root Canal

Endodontics deals with any issues inside the tooth, most often root canal therapy. Due to advances in technology, we are most often able to save a tooth even with severe damage to the inside of the tooth and the tooth root. We will always do everything we can to save a tooth from extraction. Root canal therapy allows us to preserve a natural tooth by removing the pulp of the tooth and any other areas of the tooth that have become infected. If you have any questions about root canals in Central Florida, call our team today to schedule your visit. Our team can examine your smile, answer any questions you may have and give you a proper diagnosis for treatment. 

Root Canal Treatment in FloridaEndodontics, or root canal therapy, may be necessary due to several problems, including:

  • Bacterial infection – Oral bacteria is the most common cause of endodontic problems. Bacteria invades the tooth root through tiny fissures in the tooth caused by decay or injury, resulting in inflammation or bacterial infection.
  • Fractures and chips – When a significant part of the surface or crown of the tooth has been detached or broken off, the pulp of the tooth may become exposed and root canal therapy may be necessary.
  • Injuries – If a tooth has become dislodged from its socket due to injury, you may require endodontic treatment after your dentist has stabilized the injured tooth.
  • Removals – When a tooth has become completely dislodged from the socket, it should be immediately placed back into the socket, if possible. If this is not possible, place the tooth in either a special dental solution or in milk. Your dentist should be able to place the tooth back into the socket but will have to perform endodontic surgery in order to save the tooth.

Root canal therapy begins with numbing the area and creating a small opening near the tooth. The tooth root is completely and thoroughly cleaned out, sealed, and the opening is closed. Most often, the affected tooth will need a crown for its final restoration. If you are in need of root canal therapy, our team will make sure you are comfortable throughout your entire visit.
