Endodontics

Service Description

This area of dentistry focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating issues related to the soft inner tissue of the teeth—the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues, making it essential for the tooth's growth and development. Once a tooth is fully matured, however, the pulp's primary function diminishes, as the tooth can survive without it, nourished by surrounding tissues. Endodontics is vital for maintaining oral health because it offers a solution for saving damaged or infected teeth that otherwise might need to be extracted. Tooth extraction can lead to complications such as bone loss, changes in bite alignment, and the need for restorations like dental implants or bridges. By treating and preserving natural teeth, endodontic therapy helps retain the functionality and aesthetics of the patient's smile.
