What is Endodontic Therapy in St. Louis?

Much like a cosmetic dentist specializes in cosmetic dentistry services, an endodontist specializes in traumatic dental injury (TDI) procedures and root canal therapy. While all endodontists are dentists, less than three percent of dentists are endodontists, according to the American Association of Endodontists.

Endodontic therapy focuses on diagnosing tooth pain and root canal treatment, as well as a series of other procedures, relating to the interior of the tooth. The Martin Dental & Associates therapeutic approach is designed to alleviate pressure from a damaged tooth or surrounding areas of the mouth, saving as much of a patient's natural tooth as possible. In many cases, most of a person's natural tooth can be saved if the symptoms of discomfort are reported right away.

During endodontic therapy in St. Louis with Dr. Martin and team, infected pulp or damaged nerves from the area are removed, and filler is placed in the space to prevent future infection or discomfort. Typically, endodontic treatment takes one to two in-office sessions. After the procedure, your dentist will go over maintenance techniques to prevent further issues with your oral health, as well as answer any questions that you might have or address lingering concerns.
