What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the interior of the tooth, specifically the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the root. The word “endodontic” comes from “endo” (inside) and “odont” (tooth). Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, focuses on saving teeth that have become infected, inflamed, or damaged, allowing you to keep your natural smile.

What Is Root Canal?

A root canal is a treatment designed to remove infected or inflamed pulp from the inside of a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels. When it becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscess formation. During a root canal, we carefully remove the damaged pulp, clean and disinfect the inner chamber, and seal the tooth to prevent further infection.
