Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on treating the inside of the tooth, specifically the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth.
Root canals, commonly known as root canal treatment, aims to remove infections from inside the tooth, prevent the recurrence of these infections, and preserve the natural tooth.
A root canal is necessary when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or multiple dental procedures on the same tooth.
