Endodontics

What is Endodontics?

Endodontics is the specialized dental field that delves into the intricate inner workings of your teeth. Focusing on the tooth’s core – its pulp, nerves, tissues, and arterioles – endodontists are experts equipped with additional training beyond dental school. They excel in a wide range of procedures, including the crucial root canal therapy.

Historically, a tooth with a diseased nerve would have been instantly extracted. However, the evolution of endodontics now allows us to save your natural tooth in most cases. This typically involves the delicate removal of inner tooth structures, followed by sealing the void with a crown to restore the tooth’s health and functionality.
