Endodontics
Stop Your Tooth Pain Fast
Save Your Tooth With Endodontics in Sumner
When the inside of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, endodontics in Sumner can often save the tooth and eliminate the source of your pain. Also known as root canal therapy, endodontic treatment removes infected tissue from within the tooth while preserving its natural structure.
This eliminates tooth pain and avoids extraction. It also supports long-term oral health and overall health by stopping the spread of infection.
If you're experiencing discomfort, lingering sensitivity, or swelling, don't wait to seek treatment. Early care can often prevent complications and improve the chances of saving your tooth.
Actual Patient
Preserve Your Smile With Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is recommended when the soft tissue inside a tooth, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected because of deep decay, a crack, or dental trauma.
Rather than removing the tooth, endodontic treatment allows us to eliminate the infection while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.
There's no need to feel nervous about root canal treatment. Your sedation options include laughing gas, IV sedation, and general anesthesia.

Comprehensive Evaluation
We'll examine the affected tooth, review your symptoms, and take digital X-rays to determine the extent of the damage and confirm whether root canal therapy is the appropriate treatment.
Comfortable Treatment
Local anesthesia is used to numb the area before treatment begins. If you feel anxious, sedation options are also available to help you remain comfortable throughout your visit.
Removal of Infected Pulp
A small opening is made in the tooth so the infected or damaged pulp can be carefully removed from the root canal system.
Cleaning and Sealing the Tooth
After the canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped, they're sealed with a biocompatible material to help protect the tooth from future infection.
Final Restoration
Once the tooth has been treated, it is restored with a temporary or permanent crown to strengthen the tooth and return it to normal function.
