Endodontics

What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on treating the inside of the tooth, particularly the pulp and root tissues. At Rancho Cucamonga Dental Care in Rancho Cucamonga, we offer expert endodontic treatments such as root canal therapy to save teeth that are severely damaged or infected. Root canals involve removing infected pulp, cleaning the inner canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection, preserving the tooth’s natural structure.

Who Needs Endodontic Treatment?

Endodontic treatments, like root canals, are typically needed by individuals who have severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, or signs of infection such as swelling or abscesses. If you’re in Rancho Cucamonga and experiencing these symptoms, endodontic care can save your tooth from extraction and restore it to health. Root canals are often the last resort to save a tooth that is otherwise too damaged for other restorative treatments.
