What Does an Endodontist Do?

An endodontist is a dental specialist focused on treating the inside of the tooth—particularly the pulp, root canals, and tissues around the root.

Endodontists are the go-to experts for diagnosing and treating tooth infections, deep decay, cracked teeth, and pulp-related trauma.

They specialise in:

Root canal therapy
Retreatment of failed root canals
Pulp capping and root-end surgery
Diagnosing unexplained dental pain

Signs You Might Need an Endodontist

You may require endodontic treatment if you experience:

Constant or severe toothache
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Discolouration or darkening of a tooth
Pain when biting or chewing

Left untreated, these issues can lead to infection, abscess, or tooth loss.

🦷 Early intervention is key—start with an oral examination at our PE clinic.

Root Canal Treatment in Port Elizabeth

Root canal treatment is the most common procedure performed by endodontists—and one of the most misunderstood.

At Every Smile, we ensure a pain-free experience using modern techniques and anaesthesia.

How It Works:

Diagnosis & Imaging – We use digital X-rays to locate the infection.
Cleaning & Removal – The infected pulp is removed, and the root canal is thoroughly cleaned.
Filling & Sealing – The space is filled and sealed with biocompatible material.
Restoration – A dental crown is often placed for strength and protection.

We also offer retreatment for patients with failed or painful previous root canal therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions Answered

1. What is a root canal, and why is it needed?

A root canal is a procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside a tooth. It’s needed when the pulp (the soft tissue within the tooth) becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks. Without treatment, the infection can spread and lead to tooth loss or abscesses. A root canal saves your natural tooth and relieves pain.

2. Does root canal treatment hurt?

No—modern root canal therapy is virtually pain-free. We use advanced local anaesthesia and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients report feeling relief from pain after the treatment, not during it.

3. How do I know if I need to see an endodontist?

You may need an endodontist if you experience:

Persistent tooth pain
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling, gum tenderness, or pus
A darkened or discoloured tooth
Pain when biting down

If your dentist suspects internal tooth damage or infection, they’ll refer you to an endodontist for specialist care.

4. What happens after a root canal treatment?

After your root canal, the treated tooth will be restored with a crown or filling to strengthen and protect it. You may have mild discomfort for a day or two, but it’s manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. We’ll guide you on how to care for the area and ensure proper healing.

5. Can a failed root canal be treated again?

Yes. If a previous root canal fails due to reinfection or incomplete treatment, we offer root canal retreatment. Our endodontist will remove the old filling material, clean the canals again, and reseal the tooth to give it another chance at long-term success.

6. How long does a root canal take?

A typical root canal appointment takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the tooth and severity of infection. In some cases, a second visit may be needed for complex treatments or to place a permanent crown.
