Endodontic care
What we treat
Endodontics is the care of the inside of a tooth. Dr. Krishnan treats the tooth, and your dentist restores it.
Cleaning and sealing the inside of a tooth whose nerve is damaged or infected.
A second treatment for a tooth that was treated before and is sore again.
Treating the tip of a root from the gum side when a root canal can't reach it.
Finding how deep a crack or a blow to the mouth has gone.
When the pain is real and your dentist can't tell which tooth it is.

Looking closely at a small space
The canals inside a tooth are narrow, and some are hard to find. Dr. Krishnan works with an operating microscope and small radiographs, so she can see what she is cleaning.
