What is Endodontics?
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When decay or trauma reaches the pulp, it becomes infected — causing persistent pain, swelling, or an abscess. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, disinfects the canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further damage. The goal is straightforward: save the tooth and eliminate the infection.
When is treatment needed?
- Deep tooth decay reaching the pulp
- Dental trauma causing pulp damage
- Failed previous root canal treatment
- Apical abscess from pulp infection
Treatment Process
X-ray Assessment
Evaluate the extent of infection and canal anatomy.
Local Anesthesia
The tooth is fully numbed for a comfortable procedure.
Pulp Removal & Canal Shaping
Infected tissue is removed using rotary instruments. Canals are shaped and irrigated with antimicrobial solution.
Canal Filling & Sealing
Cleaned canals are filled with biocompatible material (gutta-percha) and sealed.
What is Periodontics?
Periodontics treats diseases affecting the gums and jawbone supporting teeth. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
Disease Stages
Stage 1: Gingivitis
Red, swollen gums that bleed when brushing. Completely reversible.
Stage 2: Mild Periodontitis
Periodontal pockets form, bone begins to deteriorate. Requires specialized treatment.
Stage 3: Severe Periodontitis
Loose teeth, deep pockets, high risk of tooth loss.
Treatment Methods
- Ultrasonic Scaling: Removes plaque above and below gum line
- Root Planing: Deep cleaning of periodontal pockets
- Periodontal Surgery: For severe cases

Frequently Asked Questions
With modern anesthesia techniques, root canal treatment is completely pain-free. Patients may experience slight tenderness after anesthesia wears off, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Typically 2-3 appointments, each lasting 45-60 minutes depending on complexity. Front teeth usually require less time than molars due to fewer root canals.
Yes, follow-up is very important. The dentist will check healing progress, ensure no remaining infection, and evaluate treatment results.
With modern technology, success rates reach 90-95% for initial treatments. Complex cases may require retreatment.
Wait until anesthesia wears off (2-3 hours) before eating. Avoid hard, extremely hot/cold foods for the first 24 hours. After that, normal eating can resume.
Early stages (gingivitis) can be completely cured. Advanced stages can be controlled but bone loss cannot be reversed. Early treatment is essential.
Mild sensitivity may occur for a few days after scaling, especially if gum inflammation is severe. Using sensitivity toothpaste will quickly relieve symptoms.
Regular scaling every 6 months is recommended. People with rapid tartar buildup or periodontal disease may need cleaning every 3-4 months.
Early stages can be improved with good oral hygiene, but once periodontal pockets form, professional deep cleaning is necessary. Complete home treatment is not possible.
Costs depend on severity. Regular scaling ranges from 300,000-500,000 VND. Specialized periodontal treatment ranges from 1,000,000-3,000,000 VND depending on the area.
