If you’re experiencing persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around a tooth, you may require specialist treatment to save it
What Is an Endodontist?
An endodontist is a dental specialist trained to diagnose and treat issues inside the tooth — particularly involving the pulp and root canals. The most common procedure performed by endodontists is root canal treatment, which alleviates pain and prevents the loss of your natural tooth.
Unlike general dentists, endodontists undertake additional training to manage more complex cases, including retreating failed root canals, treating trauma-related damage, and using advanced technology for greater precision and comfort.
When Should You See an Endodontist in Eltham?
You may need to see an endodontist if you’re experiencing:
Ongoing toothache or discomfort
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Discolouration of a tooth
A dental abscess or infection near the tooth root
These signs often indicate damage or infection within the tooth, which can be effectively treated with endodontic care.
