The Truth About Root Canals in Wailuku, HI Hawaii 96793

At Wailuku, HI Hawaii, we have helped many patients restore their oral functionality with procedures and treatments like root canals. Read on to find out what a root canal procedure is and what you should know about it. An endodontic treatment saves a severely injured, cracked, or decayed tooth when its pulp (the soft inner tissue inside a tooth's root canal) becomes inflamed or infected. If it is not treated promptly, pain or a tooth abscess (infection) results. Endodontic treatment is also known as a "root canal." A root canal is a dental procedure that helps remove infections inside the tooth. It helps repair the damaged tooth by removing the pulp and the nerve. Once the procedure is done, the teeth are cleaned and sealed, and ready to function again like regular teeth.

What is an endodontist?

Endodontists specialize in root canals. Dentists with two additional years of training and specialized training in the care and treatment of tooth pulp and inner parts of the tooth are considered specialist dentists. Dentists often refer patients to endodontists for treatment when endodontic therapy is required. Endodontists work in close collaboration with dentists to improve oral health and restore teeth. Some common symptoms are:
