POCATELLO ROOT CANALS

Endodontic treatment has become increasingly common in recent times. Many root canal-treated teeth survive a LIFETIME thanks to Endodontic treatment, which has a high success rate! The process of replacing a missing tooth with a bridge or implant takes longer and may necessitate additional surgeries on other teeth and supporting tissue.

HAVE  ENDODONTIC QUESTIONS?

Our Experts Can Help!

An Endodontist is a specialist who provides dental care to the root canal system. A dentist, on the other hand, is a primary care provider who usually specializes in oral exams, diagnosing and treating injuries to teeth and gums. An Endodontist is also trained in extensive knowledge of pulpotomy (root canals), which includes removal of tooth structure as well as disinfection, filling, and crowning. A dentist is an excellent source for general care, but if a tooth is dying, rotting, or has become painful, it needs the immediate care of an Endodontist.

An Endodontist is a dental specialist who treats the inside of the teeth. An oral surgeon is a dental specialist who performs surgery on the mouth. The two fields are quite different, so it’s essential to know which one you need before seeing a doctor. A lot of people think that an Endodontist is the same as an oral surgeon, but they are not. Endodontists treat the inside of the teeth, while oral surgeons perform surgery on the mouth. If you need to have a tooth extracted, for example, you would see an oral surgeon. If you need a root canal, you might see an Endodontist.

An Endodontist will remove, clean, and/or inject chemicals inside of your tooth to stop root growth and decay. They will not perform crowns or fillings. Endodontists usually have dentistry degrees and usually have extensive training in the soft tissue of the teeth (oxidation-free peroxide, for example). They are also trained in instrumentation and application.

An Endodontist will treat the inside of teeth, and for that reason, these specialists determine that the roots of a tooth have gone into an area that is beyond their reach. This is known as a pericoronal infection. They also have extensive knowledge about crowns (fillings) and how they should be placed in relation to each other on your teeth and gums. Endodontists strive to correct oral infections by removing poorly formed or diseased teeth.

You can usually tell by the symptoms: your tooth may be sore, or it might be sensitive to hot and cold. It may feel like it’s swelling up, throbbing, or even dead. Your tooth might be darker than normal, and it could hurt to chew on that side. You can also tell by a dental checkup. It is important to get regular teeth cleanings every six months to check for cavities and other problems early on. If you have a cavity and it’s bad enough, your dentist will probably recommend a root canal. If he or she can’t do it, they will refer you to an Endodontist.

A root canal does the following: kills bacteria, cleans and sterilizes the area, aligns the teeth to prevent further damage, fills any cavities that were created by the decay process, and disinfects and fills the tooth. Upon completion of your root canal procedure, your tooth should be completely normal again.

The procedure itself is quite lengthy. The entire process may take anywhere from two to four hours; the majority of this time is spent removing the diseased pulp with drills. Once the diseased pulp is removed, it must be disinfected and filled so that it does not become reinfected. From a total standpoint, a root canal can take anywhere from two to four hours, depending on the severity of the problem and your personal needs. In addition to the time spent in the chair, you can expect to come back for three follow-up checkups so that your dentist can monitor your progress.
