Your oral health is like an intricately designed machine; several pieces work together to help you with everyday tasks like chewing, biting, and speaking. When one cog in the machine doesn’t work correctly, the entire system gets thrown off. Whether tooth pain due to infection or inflammation derails you, endodontic care from Marshlands Family Dentistry can help you get back on track. We even offer same-day dentist appointments.
At the heart of each tooth is a collection of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. This inner material, called pulp, is sensitive. That pulp can be affected when you injure your tooth through decay or trauma. The result is pain that often worsens over time, along with symptoms like temperature sensitivity.
Endodontic procedures treat the pulp of your tooth, addressing pain and infection. The most well-known treatment is root canal therapy, but our endodontic dentists offer multi-faceted care. Combining our endodontic services with our general dentistry services helps you maintain your oral health and retain your natural smile.
Root canal therapy is often essential for saving a tooth that’s severely infected or decayed. A cracked tooth or one with a deep cavity can let bacteria enter the inner tissue, leading to inflammation and infection. A root canal can help you avoid tooth extraction, saving your natural tooth while eliminating the infection and pain. We utilize advanced technology and sedation dentistry to make this procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible.
For our younger patients or adults with specific conditions, a pulpotomy can be a less invasive alternative to a full root canal. This procedure focuses on removing the affected pulp tissue and maintaining the health of the remaining healthy pulp. We usually remove the pulp on top of the tooth but leave the root canals and nerves alone. Our skilled team ensures that this treatment is quick, effective, and minimally uncomfortable, even for little or anxious patients.
Endodontic work like root canals can eventually lead to discoloration from within a treated tooth. To keep your smile looking bright and fresh, you can get internal bleaching from our dentists in Port Royal, SC. This procedure whitens affected teeth from the inside out. With our advanced techniques and materials, you achieve a brighter, more uniform smile while maintaining the health of your treated teeth.
At Marshlands Family Dentistry, we go beyond just treating dental issues—we aim to build lasting relationships based on trust and quality care. Serving the locals of Beaufort, SC, we provide personalized and compassionate endodontic treatment that you can rely on.
