Endodontics
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of dental pulp-related issues. The dental pulp, located at the core of your tooth, houses nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or damaged, endodontic treatment becomes necessary to save the tooth.
Should you need further treatment, a general dentist would refer you to an endodontist.
