Save Your Natural Teeth and Relieve Pain

At East Van Family Dental, we understand that tooth pain can disrupt your life. Our endodontic services are designed to address infections, deep decay, and internal tooth damage—while helping you preserve your natural teeth. With advanced techniques and a gentle, patient-focused approach, we make endodontic treatment as comfortable and effective as possible.

What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the inside of the tooth, particularly the pulp and root canal system. When the pulp—containing nerves and blood vessels—becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, endodontic care is needed to treat the issue and save the tooth.

Common Endodontic Treatments

The most well-known endodontic procedure is the root canal. While root canals have a reputation for being uncomfortable, modern methods and anesthetics have made them no more painful than getting a filling. At East Van Family Dental, we ensure your comfort every step of the way. During a root canal, we:

  • Remove the infected or damaged pulp
  • Clean and disinfect the root canals
  • Fill the canals with a biocompatible material
  • Seal and restore the tooth, often with a crown for added strength

This procedure not only relieves pain but also prevents the need for extraction and maintains your natural bite and appearance.

Signs You May Need Endodontic Care

You might need endodontic treatment if you experience:

  • Persistent toothache or pain when chewing
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  • A darkened or discolored tooth
  • A pimple-like bump on the gums

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t delay. Early treatment can prevent more serious complications and preserve your tooth.

Gentle, Patient-Focused Care

At East Van Family Dental, we use advanced imaging and precise techniques to diagnose and treat endodontic issues with minimal discomfort. Our goal is to eliminate pain, stop infection, and keep your natural teeth healthy and intact. We understand that root canals and related treatments can cause anxiety for some patients, so we take extra time to explain the process, answer your questions, and ensure you feel at ease throughout your visit.
