About Endodontics
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating problems related to the inside of the tooth. At Copper Hills Dental, our dentists and team provide comprehensive endodontic care in Safford, Arizona, to relieve pain, treat infection and preserve natural teeth whenever possible. With a focus on precision and comfort, we help patients maintain a healthy, complete smile through specialized care.
The Importance of Endodontic Treatment
Each tooth contains a pulp chamber filled with nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or damaged due to deep decay, trauma or repeated dental work, it can lead to pain and possible tooth loss. Endodontic treatment targets this inner tissue to eliminate infection and restore the health of the tooth from the inside out.
Our dentists may recommend endodontic care for issues such as:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
- Swelling or tenderness near a tooth
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- Infection visible on X-rays
- Past trauma or injury to the teeth
Through careful evaluation and advanced imaging, we determine the exact cause of your symptoms and recommend the most effective solution.
Specialized Treatment with Long-Term Benefits
The most common endodontic procedure is root canal therapy, which involves removing the infected pulp, disinfecting the canal and sealing it to prevent future problems. We also offer retreatment for previously treated teeth and apicoectomy procedures when deeper surgical care is needed.
Benefits of endodontic care include:
- Relief from chronic pain or discomfort
- Elimination of infection and inflammation
- Preservation of your natural teeth
- Prevention of more complex dental issues
- Restoration of proper chewing and function
Our dentists use modern techniques and tools to ensure comfort throughout the procedure, and we provide personalized aftercare guidance to support a smooth recovery.
Endodontic treatment is often the last step to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. Preserving your natural teeth helps maintain your bite, jaw health and overall oral stability.
