What Is Endodontic Gum Treatment?
Endodontic gum treatment is a specialized procedure designed to treat infections or issues in the gum tissue surrounding the roots of the teeth, often necessary when the infection extends beyond the tooth into the surrounding structures. This treatment can be performed in conjunction with a root canal to address both the tooth and the gum tissue, ensuring comprehensive care. At Austin Center for Endodontics, Dr. Ketan Amin and Dr. Arif Karim utilize advanced techniques to effectively manage gum-related issues, prevent further infection, and preserve the health of your teeth and gums.

How Is Endodontic Gum Treatment Performed?
Endodontic gum treatment is performed by first evaluating the infection or issue affecting the gum tissue around the root of the tooth. If an infection is detected, the area is cleaned to remove bacteria and infected tissue. In some cases, a small incision in the gum tissue may be made to directly access and treat the affected area. If necessary, a root canal is also performed to address any internal tooth issues. The primary goal of the treatment is to eliminate infection, promote healing, and preserve both the tooth and the surrounding gum tissue.
What Are the Benefits of Endodontic Gum Treatment?
Endodontic gum treatment offers several advantages for improving oral health and preserving natural teeth. Benefits include:
- Eliminates infection and prevents it from spreading
- Promotes healing of the gum tissue
- Helps preserve the natural tooth structure
- Reduces pain and discomfort caused by the infection
- Prevents future complications, such as bone loss or tooth loss
Austin Center for Endodontics Reviews
Fantastic experience. The communication with the office before my consultation and procedure was stellar. Upon my initial call, I was easily taken care of and scheduled by Patrick. My forms and any additional information was sent to me ahead of time. Check in was a breeze and the office was cozy and calm. Dr. Amin quickly assessed the problem area and explained the necessary root canal and the steps it would involve in an easy to understand manner. Dr. Amin and his assistant were professional, courteous, and very efficient. My consultation and treatment were complete in under an hour which I really appreciated as I was nervous for my first ever root canal. I really appreciate the care that is evident at this office and would definitely go back if ever needed. Thank y'all so much for your help!
Lovely doctor and staff who provide kind and compassionate care. Highly recommend!
Ketan Amin, DMD is the ONLY Endo I want to have work on my teeth! He is gentle, kind and thorough in explanation. His staff is also very kind and informative and sensitive to the pain that goes with needing a root canal. He and his assistant do everything to keep you as comfortable as possible during the procedure, and quick to answer any questions before and after. I was so relieved to be able to hold an appointment for a few days after I sensed a problem, awaiting a DDS to confirm. Dr. Amin has worked on 2 other teeth for root canals and I'm so grateful he was there for me again. Kudos to Austin Center for Endodontics.
Dr. Amin and staff were wonderful. I emailed them on the weekend and they called me on Monday morning with an appointment available immediately. I was so happy to have Dr. Amin help me with this tooth as he helped with 2 other teeth in 2015 and 2017. He is so gentle and a great dentist.
Went to my regular dentist for a semi annual appt and found one of my front teeth had gone dead and changed colors. They recommended Dr Amin. Called same day and got an appt for the next day to see Dr. Amin for consultation and treatment. Great customer service by his crew and great treatment by Dr. Amin. He came in and explained what probably happened to the tooth. Showed me again that it had no feeling to it and the root was dead. We went ahead with a root canal and we were all done in about 40 minutes! They were great!
