What Dental Issues Require Endodontic Treatment?
04/28/2022
If you're experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, it could be a sign of inflammation or infection inside the tooth. To fix these problems, you may need endodontic treatment. Endodontic treatment focuses on preserving and restoring teeth by eliminating infection and inflammation so extraction can be avoided. While a dentist can diagnose and treat endodontic problems, an endodontic specialist may be needed. Left untreated, more serious problems could develop and eventually lead to the extraction of the tooth. Learn what dental issues require endodontic treatment from Federici Dental.
