What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the dental specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries that affect the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. At Marianne Tanios, DDS, the focus is on identifying the source of pulp pathology, removing infection or inflamed tissue when necessary, and restoring the tooth to function. Endodontic evaluation uses clinical examination and radiographic imaging to determine pulp status and to plan treatment that preserves natural teeth whenever feasible.

When Endodontic Treatment is Needed
Endodontic care is commonly recommended when a tooth has deep decay, has experienced trauma or shows signs of internal infection. Symptoms may include lingering sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling of the gums, tenderness when chewing or darkening of the tooth. In some cases, infection may be present without severe pain, which is why prompt evaluation is important when changes occur.
You may benefit from seeing a endodontist if you experience:
- Persistent tooth pain or pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to temperature
- Swelling or tenderness near a specific tooth
- A history of injury to the mouth
- A recommendation from your general dentist for specialized care
Treating infection inside the tooth helps prevent the spread of bacteria and protects the surrounding bone and gum tissue. Early care often leads to more predictable outcomes and helps maintain your natural bite.
Benefits of Endodontic Care
Endodontic treatment offers several important advantages. First, it allows many patients to keep their natural teeth rather than pursue extraction. Preserving natural teeth supports normal chewing function and alignment. Second, treatment eliminates infection at its source, which reduces pain and lowers the risk of further complications. Finally, modern endodontic techniques are efficient and designed to promote long term oral health.
