Endodontics

Endodontics is the dental specialty that treats the inside of the tooth, specifically the pulp (nerve), when it becomes inflamed or infected.

You should see an endodontist if you have severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, infection, or if you are told you need a root canal treatment.

The goal is to eliminate the infection, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth without needing an extraction
