Endodontics, a crucial treatment, deals with removing the infected pulp from a tooth—which may result from deep decay, trauma, or fractures—thus preventing tooth loss.
When bacteria invade the pulp, they cause inflammation and pain. Endodontics is essential for preventing additional problems, such as bone loss.
Lack of treatment can lead to tooth loss, in which case, dental implants can restore both the functionality and aesthetics of the bite.
