Endodontics

Specialized Endodontic Care by an Experienced Endodontist

At Riverwalk Dental Group, we understand how debilitating tooth pain can be. That’s why we offer specialized endodontic care led by Dr. Ed Kosakoski, our dedicated endodontist. With decades of experience, Dr. Kosakoski is highly skilled in performing complex root canal treatments, ensuring patients receive precise and effective care. Whether you're dealing with a severe toothache or an infected tooth, our team is committed to relieving your pain and preserving your natural teeth.

With multiple locations in Jupiter, Stuart, and Port St. Lucie, we make it convenient to receive expert endodontic treatment from a specialist close to home.

What is Endodontics?

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating issues related to the inside of the tooth, specifically the pulp and root tissues. Endodontists like Dr. Kosakoski are specialists in performing procedures such as root canal therapy to save teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.

Endodontic procedures include:

  • Root canal therapy: Removing infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth to alleviate pain and preserve the tooth.
  • Endodontic retreatment: Addressing issues with a previous root canal that may have developed complications.
  • Apicoectomy: A surgical procedure to remove the tip of the tooth root and surrounding infected tissue when a standard root canal isn't enough.
  • Cracked tooth treatment: Managing cases where a tooth has been fractured, often needing immediate attention to prevent further damage.

By preserving the natural structure of your tooth, our endodontic treatments can help you maintain your smile while alleviating the pain of infected or damaged teeth.

  • Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the source is removed

  • Pimple-like swelling on the gums near the infected tooth

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact Riverwalk Dental Group for a consultation with our endodontic specialist.

Root Canal Therapy: Save Your Natural Tooth

A root canal is a common endodontic procedure that can save a tooth from extraction. The process involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth, cleaning the inside, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment not only relieves pain but also preserves the natural tooth, allowing you to maintain normal chewing and biting functions.

At Riverwalk Dental Group, we use modern techniques and sedation options to ensure that your root canal treatment is as comfortable as possible. After the procedure, many patients are surprised by how simple and painless it is compared to the relief they feel afterward.
