WHAT IS ENDODONTICS?
Endodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the roots of teeth. This area of dentistry primarily addresses issues such as tooth decay, trauma, and infection that can affect the inner structure of the tooth, commonly referred to as the pulp.
Endodontists are highly trained professionals who perform procedures such as root canal therapy, where they remove infected or damaged pulp tissue to save the tooth and relieve pain. This treatment not only preserves the natural tooth but also prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues.
By utilising advanced techniques and technologies, endodontists ensure the highest standards of care, focusing on restoring health and function to teeth while minimising discomfort for patients. Their expertise is essential in maintaining the longevity of teeth that might otherwise be lost due to complications arising from pulp-related issues.
