Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating issues within the inner part of the tooth, known as the dental pulp. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, a root canal treatment is performed to remove the infection and save the natural tooth.
Preserving your natural tooth through endodontic care not only maintains your smile’s appearance but also helps retain proper chewing function and jaw alignment. With timely treatment and proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.
