Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the dental pulp, the vital core of your teeth. Encased within each natural tooth, the pulp houses blood vessels and nerves crucial for the tooth's health. When the pulp is compromised or infected, specialized endodontic treatment becomes necessary to preserve the tooth. Dr. Lena Khan at Dental Studio of Melissa provides expert endodontic care for patients in Melissa, TX.
Endodontic therapy, sometimes called root canal therapy, is often required when dental pulp is damaged or infected. Common reasons include extensive decay penetrating the inner layers of the tooth or trauma leading to pulp injury. Symptoms that may indicate the need for treatment include:
Seeking prompt treatment can prevent further damage and alleviate discomfort.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination, with x-rays to identify the extent of pulp damage or infection. Endodontic therapy typically involves root canal treatment, a highly successful procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp while preserving the tooth, eliminating pain and infection so the tooth can be saved rather than extracted. During your consultation, Dr. Lena Khan will discuss personalized treatment options tailored to your needs.

If someone told me I'd have a 5-star experience at a dentist of all places, I'd call them a liar. Well, I just had two.

I needed dental work that I had put off for years because I was terrified of the dentist. I thought it was going to be so painful, but it wasn't.
