Understanding Endodontics: Preserving Your Natural Smile
Understanding Endodontics: Preserving Your Natural Smile
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the health of the tooth’s interior, particularly the pulp, nerves, and roots. At River Run Dental, we use advanced techniques and the latest technology to deliver effective endodontic care for our patients. Our services include:
Root Canal Therapy: A well-known procedure designed to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, saving the natural tooth and alleviating pain.
Treatment of Dental Abscesses: Endodontic treatments are essential in managing dental abscesses, preventing infection from spreading, and preserving the integrity of the tooth structure.
Diagnosis of Tooth Pain: Our expert team diagnoses the root cause of tooth pain, determining if endodontic treatment is necessary for relief.
Microsurgery (Apicoectomy): For cases where traditional root canal therapy is insufficient, microsurgery can address issues at the root tip, providing lasting relief.
At River Run Dental, we are dedicated to saving your natural teeth, ensuring a healthy, pain-free smile.


Endodontic Treatment
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, endodontic treatment might be necessary:
Persistent Tooth Pain: Severe or prolonged pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure to the tooth, can signal the need for endodontic care.
Swelling or Tenderness: Swelling around the gums, along with tenderness or the presence of a dental abscess, could indicate an infection that requires endodontic treatment.
Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: Unusual sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, which lingers after the stimulus is removed, may be a sign of issues with the tooth pulp.
Darkening of the Tooth: Discoloration or darkening of a tooth often points to internal damage or infection that may require endodontic evaluation.
If you experience any of these symptoms, don’t wait—schedule an appointment with River Run Dental to determine the best course of action and maintain a healthy, pain-free smile.
