Endodontic Procedures
Our office uses only digital X-rays, which significantly reduce radiation exposure. They also provide an instant image for our doctors, on a flat screen monitor.
We are using the latest digital dental CT Scan technology (Cone Beam Computed Tomography or CBCT) to make diagnosis that is elusive even with the best digital X-rays. This state-of-the-art scanner gives one of the best quality 3-D images available on the market today, while using a fraction of the radiation delivered by a medical CT and most of the dental CBCT machines.
Procedures and instructions for patients are listed and explained here...

Do not eat anything, and do not drink anything hot, until numbness wears off. This will prevent you from biting your cheek or tongue or burning your mouth. Avoid chewing at that tooth until it is completely restored by your dentist. Be sure to floss and brush normally.
Post Surgical Care
If you have had endodontic surgery, your post-surgery care will help ensure a faster and more comfortable healing period. You can expect to experience any of the following:
Moderate swelling
Mild to moderate discomfort
Root Canal Treatment
Endo is the Greek word for “inside” and odontis Greek for “tooth”. Endodontic treatment covers the inside of the tooth. To understand endodontic treatment, it helps to know something about the anatomy of the tooth. Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called the dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp.
