At Happy Dental Land, our experienced endodontists specialize in diagnosing and treating complex dental issues affecting the tooth pulp and root. Endodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on the interior of the tooth, particularly the pulp—the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes damaged or infected, endodontic treatment is essential to save the tooth and alleviate pain.
An endodontist is a dental specialist who has completed additional training beyond dental school, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries affecting the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. They perform procedures such as root canal treatments and surgeries to preserve natural teeth .
Root canal therapy is performed when the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma. The procedure involves:
Removing the infected pulp.
Cleaning and disinfecting the canal.
Filling and sealing the space.
Restoring the tooth with a crown to ensure its function and appearance .
If a tooth previously treated with a root canal fails to heal properly or develops new problems, endodontic retreatment may be necessary. This involves reopening the tooth, removing the old filling material, cleaning the canals, and resealing the tooth .
In cases where infection persists after a root canal, an apicoectomy may be performed. This surgical procedure involves removing the tip of the root and surrounding infected tissue, followed by sealing the root end to prevent further infection .
Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to heat, cold, or sweet foods.
Swelling or tenderness in the gums.
Tooth discoloration.
A small bump on the gums near the affected tooth, indicating an abscess .
An endodontist is a dentist with advanced training in diagnosing tooth pain and performing procedures that involve the tooth’s interior, especially root canals and surgeries for infected or damaged roots.
While some dental insurance plans require a referral, many endodontists accept direct appointments. Check with your provider or give us a call to find out what’s needed for your visit.
Common symptoms include:
Persistent tooth pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold

Pimple-like bumps on the gum (abscesses)
