What is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating problems within the tooth’s pulp and root canals. When this inner tissue becomes infected or inflamed, an endodontic procedure is often necessary to save the tooth.

Common treatments include:

Root canal therapy
Endodontic retreatment for failed previous procedures
Apicoectomy (surgical root tip removal)
Management of cracked or traumatized teeth

At Riverwalk Dental Group, we use digital imaging and CT scans to ensure accuracy during diagnosis and treatment planning.

Root Canal Therapy in Jupiter, Stuart & Port St. Lucie

Root canal therapy involves removing infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection. This procedure allows patients to retain their natural teeth while resolving pain and inflammation.

We offer root canal therapy at all Riverwalk Dental locations, including:

Jupiter
Stuart
Port St. Lucie
Saint Lucie West

We also provide options such as oral sedation and nitrous oxide to ensure comfort during treatment.
