Endodontics

Endodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the inside of the tooth. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity due to an infection in the pulp of the tooth, endodontic treatments such as root canals can solve the problem.

What Is Tooth Pulp?

The inside of your tooth consists of a bundle of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. This is called the dental pulp. If you experience intense tooth pain, it may be caused by an infection of the pulp. When left untreated, the infection can spread to the roots, leading to the death of the tooth.
