Endodontic (Root Canal) Treatment

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures with millions performed every year.

Where does the phrase originate? Endodontic comes from the Greek words "endo" and "odont," which means inside the tooth. While the mention might make you shudder, it's a practical and effective method for saving teeth.

Endodontic Retreatment

With proper care, most teeth that have had endodontic (root canal) treatment can last a lifetime.

Most initial root canals don't need retreatment or further care. However, if the tooth fails to heal, other options are available. Endodontists in Indianapolis offer re-treatment as the second line of care. The pain or infection may return weeks, months, or years later.

Endodontic Surgery

Sometimes nonsurgical endodontic (root canal) treatment alone cannot save a tooth.

Although endodontists in Indianapolis perform hundreds of root canals every year, not all are successful. A surgical procedure may be necessary to determine the cause. Additionally, endodontic surgery may relieve pain by removing damaged tissue.
