Endodontic Dentistry Services
Endodontic Dentistry
Root canal therapy is a dental treatment used to repair and save a tooth that has been infected due to decay or cracking. Teeth that have been injured and compromised can also be treated with root canal therapy to maintain function and longevity.
A root canal involves the removal of the pulp of the tooth. The pulp contains connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels. The advantage of a root canal is that it enables you to keep and use your tooth. Signs that root canal therapy may be needed are:
• Severe tooth pain while chewing
• Pain that wakes you up at night
• Teeth that are sensitive to hot or cold
• Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
• Swollen gums in the area of the infected tooth
We know the mention of a root canal can raise anxiety in many patients. That is why Illumination Dentistry is dedicated to the comfort and care of all our patients. Our team of friendly dental technicians and staff is dedicated to making your procedure as stress-free as possible.
Endodontic Dentistry in Tampa – Relieve Tooth Pain & Restore Oral Health
At Illumination Dentistry, we understand that tooth pain can disrupt your life. Our endodontic dentistry services focus on diagnosing and treating infections deep within the tooth, often with root canal treatment—a trusted, effective way to relieve severe pain and save an infected tooth.
If you’re experiencing sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, swelling, or pain while chewing, these could be signs of an affected tooth with damage to its blood vessels or nerves. If left untreated, this kind of infection can spread, leading to serious dental issues or even tooth loss.
Using precise X-rays and modern dental procedures, our experienced dentist can determine the best treatment path. During root canal therapy, we carefully remove the infection, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it. Afterward, a crown is placed to protect the tooth and restore function—so you can smile and chew comfortably again.
As a proud Florida practice committed to compassionate dental care, we take the time to educate and reassure our patients every step of the way. Whether you’re in Tampa or the surrounding area, our team is here to help relieve your discomfort with expert care tailored to your needs.
