Endodontics is the specialist branch of dentistry that focuses on identifying, preventing and treating injuries and diseases of the dental pulp, which refers to the soft tissues inside a tooth.
Dental professionals who practise endodontics in Singapore are known as endodontists, and they have specifically trained to diagnose and treat pain, infections and diseases affecting the tooth pulp. They are also skilled in performing more complex procedures such as a root canal. Endodontists are specialists in saving teeth, as their treatments are geared towards preserving the natural tooth by alleviating symptoms and curing the root cause of dental disease.
While dentists perform general dental services such as cleaning teeth, filling cavities and removing tooth decay, endodontists in Singapore perform more specialised tasks and surgical procedures such as root canal treatments and dental implants. Additionally, endodontists will also undergo extra years of schooling and training after getting a dental degree.
Individuals who are experiencing tooth pain, tooth injury, and chipped or fractured teeth may need to visit an endodontic clinic in Singapore. The endodontist is also the go-to professional for those with teeth that are overly sensitive or those whose teeth are inflamed due to a bacterial infection.
An endodontist will assess whether a patient needs a root canal following a comprehensive diagnosis. Endodontic treatment in Singapore typically removes the infected or inflammatory pulp. Following the removal, the tooth's interior will be cleansed, and the root canal will be shaped to accommodate a filling. Once this is done, the incision is closed.
