Endodontist in Kondapur
Endodontist in Kondapur, Hyderabad
Dr. Revathi Indukuri is the endodontist at Elite Dental Clinic. Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the inside of the tooth, and its aim is to find the cause of tooth pain and to save the tooth where that is possible.
She holds a BDS and an MDS in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics. This page explains what an endodontist does, what she treats at the clinic in Kondapur and when an endodontist's skills are the right ones for your tooth.
What an endodontist does
Inside every tooth is the pulp, a soft tissue with nerves and blood vessels. When decay, a crack or an injury reaches the pulp, it can become inflamed or infected, and the tooth can hurt, become sensitive to heat and cold, or, in time, form an abscess. An endodontist is trained to find out whether the pulp is the cause of the pain, and to treat it.
The most familiar treatment is the root canal, in which the infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is then covered with a crown. The aim is to keep the natural tooth, because a natural tooth, kept healthy, is usually better for chewing and for the neighbouring teeth than a replacement.

Her work is conservative: keeping teeth healthy and in place for as long as possible.

When to see an endodontist
Pain that lingers or wakes you
A toothache that lasts after hot or cold, or wakes you at night, often means the nerve is inflamed or infected.
A tooth that hurts when you bite
Pain on biting can mean a crack or an infection at the root, and it needs an examination and an X-ray.
A swelling or pimple on the gum
A painful swelling in one spot can be an abscess from an infected tooth, and needs a dentist the same day.
A tooth darkening by itself
One tooth that has turned grey or dark may have a dying nerve, even if it does not hurt.
Urgent signs
If your face, jaw or neck is swelling, or you have trouble breathing, swallowing or opening your mouth, go to a hospital emergency department. For a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache or a swelling on the gum, call the clinic first. See the dental emergency guide.

A toothache is not always the tooth that looks worst on the X-ray, so I take time to find the cause first and explain it in plain words. Then we go step by step, at your pace, and you know what to expect before each stage.
Dr. Revathi Indukuri
The cause first
The examination and X-ray come before any decision to treat or remove a tooth.
Saving the tooth
If a tooth can be saved, you are told so before removal is suggested.
A written plan
You receive a written plan before treatment starts, so you know what comes next.
One clinic for the whole job
Fillings, crowns and, if a tooth cannot be saved, replacement are planned in the same clinic.

Questions about the endodontist in Kondapur
What is an endodontist?
An endodontist is a dentist whose speciality is the inside of the tooth, the pulp and the nerve. The word comes from the Greek for inside the tooth. Endodontists diagnose tooth pain and treat infections of the root, most often with root canal treatment.
Do I need an endodontist or a general dentist?
Many toothaches begin with a general dental check. If the cause is the nerve, such as a deep cavity, an infection or a cracked tooth that reaches the nerve, a root canal is the usual treatment, and an endodontist is trained for it. At Elite Dental Clinic you see the dentist who is right for the problem, and you are told why.
Does an endodontist only do root canals?
No. The assessment of tooth pain, the repair of cracked and broken teeth, and the restoration of root-treated teeth with fillings and crowns are part of the work. See the guides linked on this page.
Is a root canal painful?
The tooth is numbed with a local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure and not sharp pain during treatment. The tooth can be sore for a few days afterwards. The root canal guide explains what to expect step by step.
Can an endodontist treat children's teeth?
Pulp treatment in baby teeth, which is a smaller version of a root canal, is done with the clinic's pediatric dentist. See the guide on root canal for children.
