Endodontic procedures focus on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the inner parts of the teeth, such as the pulp and root canals. Endodontists are uniquely trained to identify and address the issues related to the dental pulp, or the soft tissue inside the tooth. Endodontic treatment is commonly referred to as “root canal therapy” and is used to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted due to severe infection or injury. Endodontists use specialized instruments and techniques to carefully remove damaged tissue and clear infection from the inside of the tooth. Once the infection is eliminated, the endodontist will fill the space with a special material and seal the tooth to prevent further damage. Our specially-trained endodontists at walk in dentistry in Richmond Hill are committed to providing patients with the most effective and efficient treatment possible.
