Endodontics, more commonly known as a root canal, is the scientific term for root canal therapies. Root canals can stop your pain and save your infected tooth, an infection sometimes called an abscess. That means we will remove the pulp inside the root canals of your tooth, also called the pulp, and fill these canals with a comfortable replacement, then prepare the remaining parts of your tooth for a crown. Dr. Wark assesses all patients who need endodontic therapies, and will either perform the procedure in her office or refer to another doctor, in order to provide the best individual solution for her patients.
