Company description
Endodontics is the area of dentistry specializing in the treatment of the inside of a tooth (root canal) where the nerves and blood vessels are normally found. An Endodontic Specialist is a qualified dentist who has extensive training and expertise in the treatment of these problems.
Root canal treatment is an endodontic procedure that is carried out when the soft pulp tissue (nerve and blood vessels) becomes infected or dies. This infection may lead to inflammation or an abscess in the surrounding jawbone. Acute inflammation can result in pain and swelling at the end of the tooth root but many abscessed teeth remain pain-free and reveal no symptoms unless they flare up.
