Expert Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment) in Miami and Pembroke Pines

Endodontics, commonly known as root canal therapy, is a vital dental service designed to prevent and treat serious oral health issues. If you’re experiencing pain from cavities, infections, or damage beneath the surface of your tooth, a root canal may be the key to saving your tooth and avoiding more invasive treatments, like extractions or dental implants. Our skilled dental team in Miami and Pembroke Pines is here to ensure your oral health is restored with effective and comfortable care.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

A root canal is a procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth. This treatment targets the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, and is essential for removing infection, alleviating pain, and preserving your natural tooth. Once the affected tissue is removed, the tooth is cleaned, sealed, and restored, preventing further damage and helping you maintain a healthy smile.

Benefits of Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment):

  • Prevents Tooth Loss: Root canal therapy helps save your natural tooth, reducing the need for dental implants or bridges.
  • Relieves Pain and Discomfort: If you’re suffering from tooth pain due to infection or deep decay, a root canal can provide significant relief.
  • Prevents Infection Spread: Treating an infected tooth early prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums, safeguarding your overall oral health.
  • Restores Functionality: After treatment, the tooth is restored to full function, allowing you to chew, bite, and speak normally.

If you’re in Miami, Pembroke Pines, or the surrounding areas and think you may need root canal therapy, don’t wait to seek treatment. Our experienced team is here to help you protect your oral health and maintain a beautiful smile. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!

Indications

Avoid intense activities for the rest of the day.

When the effects of anesthesia pass, the tissues that surround and support the tooth become inflamed, so it is normal to experience pain three to seven days after the treatment.

This pain usually varies in intensity with respect to the treated tooth and with each patient. It is usually a moderate pain, which is contracted with the medication indicated by your dentist.

There are occasions when symptoms of severe pain and suppuration occur. If with the indicated medication it is not possible to control these symptoms, we advise you to approach the office so that a professional can examine you.

Avoid chewing with the treated tooth as far as possible until your dentist has performed the final restoration. This should be done in a period less than 8 days after endodontic treatment. We remind you of the importance of this to prevent the treatment from failing.

Oral hygiene should be usual.
