What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating issues within the tooth's pulp and root canal system. When the inner tissue of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, an endodontist steps in to relieve pain, remove infection, and preserve the tooth structure.
Common reasons you may need endodontic treatment include:
- Deep cavities that have reached the tooth’s pulp
- Cracked or fractured teeth that expose the nerve
- Severe sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling or tenderness around the gums
- Previous root canals that need retreatment

Frequently Asked Questions
Thanks to modern anesthetics and sedation, root canal treatments are no more uncomfortable than getting a routine filling. Many patients feel immediate relief from pain after the procedure.
With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. A dental crown may be recommended to strengthen the tooth and enhance durability.
If left untreated, a tooth infection can spread to other areas, leading to severe pain, abscess formation, and even systemic health complications. Seeking prompt endodontic care is essential.
While general dentists can perform root canals, endodontists specialize in complex cases, using advanced techniques and technology for higher success rates and long-term results.
