Endodontics

Endodontics is the dental specialty of diagnosing and treating issues and diseases inside the tooth.

When a tooth is cracked or damaged due to breakage or decay, dental tissue and the nerve inside the tooth can become infected.

Inflammation and nerve sensitivity caused by infection can often cause discomfort and pain. If left untreated, infections can develop into abscesses and spread into surrounding tissues.

Root canal treatment is a common endodontic procedure.
