What exactly is endodontics? 🤔🦷
Think of it as the part of dentistry focused on saving teeth from the inside out. When the nerve inside of a tooth becomes infected or damaged from deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can lead to serious pain, swelling, and sensitivity 😖
That’s where root canal treatment comes in ✨ During endodontic treatment, the nerve and infection are removed by cleaning out the inside of the tooth, preserving your natural smile. And despite what you may have heard… modern root canals are far more comfortable and efficient than most people expect 🙌
Saving your natural tooth helps maintain your bite, jaw health, and overall function long term, which is why preserving teeth is always our goal whenever we can 💙
