Diagnosis
We begin with a thorough examination and X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and understand the source of discomfort or infection.
Endodontic care at Epic Smiles Miami is focused on treating infection inside the tooth, relieving pain, and helping preserve your natural smile with comfortable, modern root canal treatment.
Root canal therapy treats the inner core of an inflamed or infected tooth. When decay, cracks, or bacteria reach the pulp, symptoms may include swelling, sensitivity to temperature, and persistent tooth or gum pain. Our team carefully removes infected tissue, disinfects the canals, and protects the tooth until the final restoration is completed.
Root canals are one of the most common dental procedures and help save millions of teeth each year. Preserving your natural tooth helps maintain your natural bite, appearance, and smile function.

Some sensitivity is normal for a few days. Your dentist may recommend medications or over-the-counter pain relievers to help manage discomfort.
Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the final restoration is completed. Continue good oral hygiene and attend follow-up appointments as recommended.
