Endodontics
Endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, focuses on treating the inside of the tooth, or the dental pulp. At We Smile Dentists we perform standard endodontic treatments that are important for the preservation of teeth that would otherwise be lost due to infection or damage.
For re-endo treatments (re-performing a root canal treatment) or complex root canal treatments, we refer you to a specialized endodontist. This ensures that you receive the best care from a specialist in specific and complicated cases.

What is a root canal treatment?
A root canal is a common endodontic procedure that is necessary when the root canal becomes inflamed or infected. This treatment consists of the following steps:
- Diagnosis and X-rays: To assess the extent of inflammation or infection.
- Anesthesia: To make the treatment painless.
- Removal of the infected tissue: The infected or inflamed tissue is removed.
- Cleaning and disinfection: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
- Filling and closing: The cleaned canals are filled and closed to prevent further infections.
- Restoration: A crown or filling is placed to protect and restore the tooth.

Benefits of endodontic treatments
Endodontic treatments offer several advantages:
- Pain relief: A root canal treatment relieves the pain caused by inflamed or infected dental pulp.
- Tooth Preservation: The treatment saves teeth that would otherwise have to be removed.
- Preventing further infection: Cleaning and filling the root canals prevents the infection from spreading.
