Endodontic Treatment at Pinellas Dental Specialties
At Pinellas Dental Specialties, we understand that dental health is essential to your overall well-being. Our expert team specializes in endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, designed to save your natural teeth and alleviate pain caused by infections or damage.
What is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment involves the diagnosis and treatment of dental pulp issues, which are the soft tissues inside your teeth. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks, it can lead to severe pain and complications. Our goal is to remove the infected tissue and preserve your tooth, helping you maintain your smile and oral health.

Endodontic Treatments
We offer a variety of endodontic treatments to address your specific condition:
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is the most common endodontic procedure. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. Our gentle approach ensures minimal discomfort, allowing you to return to your daily activities quickly.
Endodontic Retreatment
Sometimes, a tooth that has previously undergone root canal therapy may require additional treatment. This can occur due to new infections or incomplete healing. Our team will carefully evaluate your situation and determine the best course of action to restore your tooth's health.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure performed when a root canal treatment has not resolved the issue. It involves removing the tip of the tooth's root and surrounding infected tissue. This procedure can help save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Pulp Capping
For cases where the pulp is not severely infected, pulp capping may be an option. This treatment involves placing a medicated dressing over the exposed pulp to encourage healing and preserve the tooth's vitality.
