🔹 What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on treating the inner part of the tooth, known as the pulp. When the pulp becomes infected or damaged due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, endodontic treatment (commonly called Root Canal Treatment) helps save the natural tooth and relieve pain.
🔹 How Does Endodontic Treatment Work?
A detailed dental examination and X-ray are done
The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed
The inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected
The canals are shaped and sealed with a biocompatible material
The tooth is restored with a filling or crown for strength
🔹 Benefits of Endodontic Treatment
