What Is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on treating the inside of the tooth, known as the pulp. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, root canal therapy is often necessary to remove the infection and protect the tooth.
During a root canal, the infected tissue is carefully removed, the inner chamber is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection. A crown is typically placed afterward to restore strength and function.
