When tooth pain strikes, it’s not just uncomfortable—it’s a sign that something serious may be happening beneath the surface. That’s when you need more than a routine check-up. You need a specialist who works on the very core of the tooth. Here in Colorado Springs, Dr. Jack Mayhew focuses on exactly that. His expertise lies in saving natural teeth through precise, advanced endodontic treatments designed to relieve discomfort and protect long-term dental health.
Whether you’ve been told a root canal might be necessary, suffered an injury, or need help the very same day, Dr. Mayhew and his team combine technical skill with a calm, supportive approach—so treatment is as stress-free as possible.
Endodontics is the dental specialty dedicated to diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth—specifically, in the dental pulp. This soft tissue runs through the center of the tooth, carrying blood vessels, nerves, and connective fibers that keep it alive and responsive.
Although the pulp is well shielded by enamel and dentin, it can still be damaged. Deep cavities, repeated dental work, cracks, or injuries can cause inflammation or infection within this delicate area. Symptoms often include lingering toothaches, sensitivity to heat or cold, or swelling around the tooth and gums. Without timely treatment, the infection can spread, leading to an abscess or even tooth loss.
An endodontist’s role is to remove the infection, clean and seal the inner canals of the tooth, and restore its strength—allowing you to keep your natural tooth for years to come. In skilled hands, these procedures are highly predictable, often completed in one visit, and can quickly eliminate the discomfort that brought you in.
