Toothache is an uncomfortable condition that many people suffer from, and it is usually caused by a serious dental problem. In such cases, a method called endodontic treatment offers a safe and effective way to save your teeth and restore a healthy smile.
What is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment is a treatment for infection, inflammation or damage to the soft tissues (pulp) inside the tooth. This treatment consists of cleaning, shaping and then filling the root canals of the tooth. Its purpose is to remove the infection and restore the tooth’s function and strength, while preserving its natural structure.

How is Endodontic Treatment Performed?
Endodontic treatment is performed by an experienced endodontist or general dentist. Treatment begins with taking X-ray images of the tooth to detect infection and damage. Then, under local anesthesia, an opening is made around the tooth and access to the root canals is achieved. Root canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected with antibacterial drugs. Finally, the treatment is completed by filling the root canals and restoring the tooth.
