When ordinary dental care is not enough to keep from having dental problems help from specialists is needed. Depending on whether the interior of the tooth is the problem or the surrounding gum tissue, the services of an endodontist or periodontist may be required.

Features
1. The tooth is composed of two sections. The crown is the surface down to the gum line and has enamel and dentin. The rest of the tooth consists of the root area, which includes more dentin, a pulp chamber, one or more root canals with pulp tissue, a ligament that provides support and accessory canals.

If decay from a cavity progresses to the point where the pulp is infected or inflamed, an endodontist may save the tooth by doing a root canal.

Endodontic treatment involves drilling through the enamel and down to the root canals. The endodontist removes the pulp containing nerves and blood vessels with tiny tools and brushes. The empty space is filled with gutta percha, a natural form of rubber. Sometimes, if the tooth is weak, a small metal post is placed in the tooth to add support. After this, the tooth is sealed with a temporary filling. When healed, a regular dentist makes a crown, an artificial covering, to replace the part of the crown damaged during the root canal.
Effects
2. Failure to follow adequate dental health can lead to the formation of bacterial infections that damage both the gums and the dental bones. Even with recommended daily brushing and flossing, age causes the gums to recede, exposing more gum tissue to problems with invading bacteria. Other conditions associated with aging, such as menopause, can increase the risk of gum disease.

When an infection begins, it may start as simple gingivitis, causing the gums to bleed easily. There is usually no pain associated at this level. However, if untreated the infection can lead to a more severe disease called periodontitis. In this case, plaque moves down below the gum line, where a bacterial infection can grow in pockets that are created. Eventually this can destroy the bones holding the teeth.
Prevention/Solution
3. Root canals or gum surgery can be both painful and costly. While the work is done under anesthesia, it is difficult to avoid post-operative pain and swelling. There are always risks of complications with any medical or dental procedure. In addition, root canals are not always successful, although with a good endodontist, failures are unlikely. Root canals may not always last a lifetime; sometimes they will fail after many years. Since the tooth is weakened when the pulp is removed, a tooth that has undergone a root canal may be subject to fracture. However, any attempt to save a tooth rather than pull it is generally considered worthwhile.
Benefits
4. Immediate relief from pain is an obvious benefit of root canal work. Badly decayed teeth may lead to abscesses and dangerous infections. Circulating bacteria from dental disease can even have an effect on the heart. Properly done root canals with posts and good crowns should allow the individual to preserve the natural tooth structure for many years.
Time Frame
5. Root canal work is generally done in one or two sessions at the endodontist.
Several follow-up visits to a regular dentist will complete the restorative work on the tooth--preparing the surface for a permanent crown, getting it made and cementing it into place.

Chinese translation:牙周病专科牙医和牙体牙髓病专科牙医
Explanation:
在endodontist中,虽然有END这个构词成分,但它与内科的内字无关。把它翻译成内科牙医是望文生义所导致的误译。

口腔内科是ORAL MEDICINE的译文,它们都是包括很多分支的泛泛的说法,与ORAL SURGERY相对应。
而endodontist属于口腔外科的一个分支。它们管处理牙内部的病,包括牙髓及神经等,所用的手段都是外科的,涉及很多外科器械例如钻头等。不信你可以GOOGLE一下Endodontic SURGERY,你会发现很多HITS。

periodontist & endodontist这两个专业其实正相反,一内一外。periodontist 管牙体以外的病,即牙体表面和外部的病,它反而属于口腔内科的一个分支。endodontist管牙内部的病,但它反而是口腔外科的一个分支。
