Endodontics
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of problems inside your teeth, such as infected or inflamed pulp. The pulp is the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. If left untreated, a damaged pulp can cause pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.
Endodontic treatment, also known as a root canal, involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the root canal system, and filling it with a special material. This procedure can save your natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction. Endodontics is a highly effective treatment option that can help you maintain a healthy, functional smile for years to come.
