Endodontics
When you experience severe tooth pain, you rush to the dental clinic. Such emergencies are resolved by endodontics, a dental specialty that deals with diseases of the root canal and dental pulp.
Pulpitis: Inflammation of the dental pulp
Pulpitis is an inflammation of the dental pulp that causes intense pain and throbbing. The dental pulp can become diseased due to bacteria from cavities or trauma. If left untreated, pulpitis can lead to gangrene, and severe gangrene can spread to the jawbone. This process can be painful and unpleasant but is often discovered only when swelling becomes visible.
Untreated pulpitis can lead to serious dental diseases i and tooth loss.

Apex locator: Precision in treatment
The apex locator is a device that helps the dentist accurately determine the length of the tooth’s canal to the very tip of the root. This device uses sound signals and a graphic display to ensure the dentist always knows where they are in the canal, minimizing the chance of errors.
A perfectly precise filled canal system.
This procedure reduces the possibility of errors in root canal treatment and ensures the maximum therapeutic effect of the endodontic procedure.
Complications if the infection is not treated in time
If the infection of the dental pulp is not treated in time, serious complications can arise:
Gangrene of the tooth: Unpleasant symptoms and treatment
Tooth gangrene is the death of the dental pulp, which can cause intense pain and swelling. Symptoms include unpleasant odor (bad breath), pain, swelling, fever, chills, and swollen glands near the affected tooth. Gangrene often develops slowly, and symptoms may gradually appear, which is why regular dental checkups are crucial.
Toothache: Symptoms not to be ignored
A toothache is one of the most unpleasant pains, often caused by cavities, gum inflammation, or bone infections. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss and infection of the surrounding tissue.
Regular checkups and timely treatment are key to maintaining dental health. At Barjaktarević Clinic, our expert team uses the latest methods and technologies to provide you with the best care and treatment for your teeth.
