What Is Endodontics?
Specialized care focused on saving teeth & relieving pain from within.
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the dental pulp - the soft tissue at the center of each tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Here at SmileLuxe, our endodontists are highly trained in preserving natural teeth through advanced procedures such as root canal therapy, pulpotomy, and pulpectomy. These treatments are designed to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and restore long-term oral health.

Endodontics FAQs
Curious about endodontic treatment? Browse our most common questions to understand the process, recovery, and how we help preserve your natural teeth.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a treatment used to remove infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth, clean and disinfect the canals, and seal the space to eliminate infection and save the tooth.
Why is endodontic treatment important?
Endodontic treatment is essential for saving teeth that are infected or severely damaged on the inside. By removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth, this treatment relieves pain, stops the spread of infection, and helps preserve your natural smile for the long term.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common indicators include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, discoloration, or pain when biting. Dentists may also use X-rays to detect pulp or root issues
Can a tooth still get infected after a root canal?
Yes, while root canals are highly effective, infection can recur if the tooth wasn’t fully sealed, if new decay develops, or if the restoration is damaged. In such cases, retreatment may be necessary.
Will a root canal hurt?
With effective local anesthesia and modern techniques, root canals are no more painful than receiving a filling. Infections themselves tend to cause more pain than the procedure.
How long does a root canal take and what is recovery like?
Usually completed in one session lasting between 30–90 minutes. Minor discomfort or soreness may last a few days afterward, and most patients can return to normal activities soon after.
