Endodontics in Petaluma, CA

Endodontics is a more specialized branch of dentistry, and less than three percent of dentists in the US train in Endodontics. The word endodontic comes from the Greek language, where ‘endo’ means ‘inside,’ and ‘-odont’ means ‘tooth.’

How Can I Benefit from Endodontic Services?

Our expert team of endodontists uses endodontic therapy to treat problems related to the soft inner tissue called the tooth pulp. While all dentists are trained to treat dental problems, some issues can be particularly difficult to diagnose and treat.

This is when endodontists come into the picture.

If you’re referred to an endodontist, they will evaluate the tooth in-depth and use detailed procedures to treat it. Our surgical root canal treatments are very successful, and we’re able to help many patients retain their natural teeth.

What Do Endodontic Procedures at Petaluma Dental Group Involve?

In general, the endodontist may isolate the infected tooth with a rubber dam (we’re happy to offer non-rubber ones too) and will use a local anesthetic to numb the area. Treatment may require one to three visits depending on the degree of difficulty in treatment and the location of the infection or inflammation.
