Endodontics

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries affecting the dental pulp, which includes the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth.

The most common endodontic procedure is root canal therapy, which is performed when the pulp becomes infected or damaged due to decay, trauma, or other conditions.

The goal of endodontics is to save the tooth and prevent the need for extraction.
