Endodontic treatments are a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues that have been injured or have a disease. The soft tissue that is found inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels is called dental pulp. Endodontic treatments focus on restoring the health of the pulp or removing it if necessary to prevent further damage or infection. Endodontic surgery might be warranted to save a tooth that cannot be treated with root canal therapy alone. Endodontic surgery involves removing damaged tissue from the root of the tooth and may be necessary if the tooth has a fracture or if the root canal is blocked or curved. Endodontic treatments also include treating cracked teeth, which can be caused by a few different things like trauma, grinding, or biting on hard objects. Cracked teeth can be hard to find and treat, but endodontic treatments can help preserve the tooth and prevent further damage.
