Endodontics is a dental specialty that treats problems with the internal tissues of the teeth, such as infections of the dental pulp or the tissues around the root. An endodontist is a specialized dentist who treats necrotic or potentially necrotic teeth. If you feel pain in a tooth or at the site of a deep cavity, consult a dentist specializing in endodontics to assess the condition of the tooth. If an infection is not treated in time, the tooth may be lost and require an implant or bridge. Root canal treatment is a procedure that involves cleaning the inside of the toothremoving infected tissue and filling the root canal.

This procedure must be performed with care by an experienced endodontist to avoid complications.
