Endodontics treatment is a specialized dental procedure performed to save damaged or infected teeth. In this treatment, the affected or infected pulp tissue (nerve and blood vessels) is removed from inside the tooth. After thorough disinfection, the root canals are filled with specialized materials

This treatment becomes necessary when deep decay, a crack, or trauma to the tooth causes inflammation or infection of the pulp. Symptoms such as severe pain, sensitivity to cold and heat, or swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums may indicate the need for a root canal. With advancements in modern dental techniques, this procedure can now be performed effectively and with minimal discomfort for the patient, allowing the natural tooth to be preserved for many years.

After root canal treatment, the tooth is typically protected with a crown to restore its strength and prevent future damage. By preserving the natural tooth, this procedure eliminates the need for replacement options such as implants or dental bridges.
