Benefits

Endodontic examination is a key step in saving a tooth with damaged pulp or root canals. It allows the dentist to accurately determine the extent of the problem and propose an effective solution. Thanks to early diagnosis, pain, inflammation and even tooth loss can be prevented. This is an important basis for successful and painless endodontic treatment.

  • Accurate diagnosis of inflammation, infection or damage to the dental pulp
  • Early detection of problems that could lead to tooth loss
  • Possibility of planning effective and gentle endodontic treatment
  • Help in saving your own tooth
  • Reducing the risk of infection spreading to surrounding tissues or the body

How is an endodontic examination performed?

1./ Initial consultation and medical history

The dentist will talk to you about your concerns, tooth pain, and previous treatments to determine whether it is an acute problem or long-term damage.

2./ Clinical examination of the tooth and surrounding area

He or she will then examine the tooth, gums, and surrounding structures. He or she may perform sensitivity tests to cold/warm stimuli or tapping to determine the condition of the dental pulp.

3./ X-ray or 3D imaging (CBCT)

Using an X-ray, he will verify the depth of the damage, the presence of inflammation, the condition of the root canals and surrounding tissues.

4./ Diagnosis and treatment proposal

Based on the results, the dentist will make an accurate diagnosis (e.g. pulpitis, dead nerve, chronic inflammation) and recommend treatment – most often endodontic treatment (root canal cleaning).

5./ Planning the next step

You will learn the expected number of treatments, the time schedule and the approximate price of the treatment. In case of acute pain, the dentist can proceed directly to a relief procedure.

Endodontic examination often precedes root canal treatment, also known as endodontics. Thanks to it, it is possible to save the tooth and avoid its extraction. Contact us and book an appointment for treatment.
