Endodontics

When a tooth became injured or infected in the past, it was typically extracted. But today, endodontic therapy, sometimes referred to as root canal treatment, can frequently save damaged or diseased teeth.

A specialist branch of dentistry known as Endodontics focuses on aberrant tooth pulp, as well as the problems that impact the tissues surrounding the pulp and canal and its causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment. The soft tissue known as tooth pulp, which is made up of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues, runs through the dentin, the hard tissue that makes up the inside of the tooth, and extends from the crown, or top, of the tooth to the tip of the root in the jaw bone.
