Endodontics

Dr. Chng specialises in endodontic treatment for problems affecting the tooth pulp and tissues surrounding the root of the tooth.

Root Canal Treatment

Inflammation of the tooth pulp can be caused by deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth. The inflamed or infected tooth pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.

Endodontic Retreatment

Sometimes, a tooth may not heal as expected or a new problem can endanger a tooth that was successfully treated. The tooth will be reopened and the original filling will be removed for further examination. Any infection will be removed and the canal will be cleaned and replaced with new filling then sealed.

Endodontic Surgery

Endodontic surgery can be used to locate small fractures or hidden canals that weren’t detected on x-rays or during previous treatment. Surgery may also be needed to remove calcium deposits in root canals, or to treat damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone of the tooth.
