Have you ever heard of Endodontics? Endodontics is a commonly used term that refers to a specific category of dentistry. Endodontics deals with the roots of a tooth and its pulp. This highly specific area of a tooth is often known as the life center of the tooth as it contains all of the important workings and mechanisms of a tooth, including its blood vessels, nerve endings, and connective tissues. However, if the pulp is ever damaged, it will often need to be fixed with an endodontic treatment such as a root canal to ensure the tooth has a chance to thrive once more.
Here are a few facts regarding Endodontics:
– In many cases, endodontics allows our dentists to save broken and damaged teeth that otherwise would need to be extracted.
– With a root canal treatment applied by our dentists, it can remove the pulp of a tooth to allow it to flourish once again. This will also keep your smile fresh and complete without the need for a tooth prosthetic.
– Every single year in America, millions of teeth are saved with endodontic treatments.
– It may be possible to use a root canal treatment to allow the tooth to function for the rest of your life.
