Endodontics in brief

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the inside of the tooth: the pulp tissue, where the nerves and blood vessels are, and the root canals. The best-known endodontic treatment is root canal treatment.

Deep decay, a crack, a knock or the failure of earlier treatment can cause inflammation in the dental nerve. The aim of endodontic treatment is to clear this inflammation and keep the tooth in the mouth. At MC Multi Clinic these treatments are planned and carried out by our endodontist.

When decay reaches the nerve, the inflamed tissue inside the tooth is cleaned out, the canals are filled and the tooth is protected on top with a filling or crown.

General dentists also carry out simple root canal treatments. In some cases, however, a specialist’s assessment makes a difference.

  • •When is it chosen? For teeth with simple canal anatomy

Endodontist

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about endodontics

What is endodontics?

It is the branch of dentistry that deals with the inside of the tooth: the nerve tissue and root canals. Root canal treatment and retreatment are treatments in this field.

What does an endodontist do?

An endodontist is a dentist who has completed specialty training in endodontics after dental school. They deal with root canal treatment, retreatment, treatment of teeth after trauma and complex root anatomy.

Are endodontics and root canal treatment the same thing?

Root canal treatment is the best-known treatment in endodontics. Endodontics is a broader field that also covers retreatment, treatment after trauma and nerve-preserving treatments.

Not always. A specialist’s assessment is recommended if the first treatment has not healed, the canals are curved or narrowed, or the tooth has had a knock.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you do not feel pain during it. There may be sensitivity when chewing for the next few days.
