Endodontics

Fractured teeth are very common in the domesticated dog and cat.  Once this fracture has occured, acute pain followed by bacterial infection and pulp sepsis ensues.  For some pets, root canal of the affected tooth is a viable option to eliminate the pain, prevent infection from spreading to the supportive structures and soft tissues surrounding the tooth, and preserve the form and function of the tooth.  If you have a pet with a fractured, discolored or painful tooth, we can advise you on the cause and if root canal is an option.
