What is endodontics
Endodontics deals with the treatment of diseases and injuries of the inner part of the tooth, i.e., the pulp cavity that contains the nerve and blood vessels. This treatment is necessary when there is an infection or inflammation of the pulp, most often due to serious cavities, injuries or other tooth damage. Root canal treatment enables saving a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted, thus preserving functionality and natural tooth appearance.

FAQ
