What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics focuses on diagnosing and treating issues inside the tooth—specifically the nerve and pulp. When a tooth becomes infected, cracked, or deeply decayed, the pain can be intense. Endodontic treatments, including root canals, remove infection and protect the tooth from further damage. While many patients think root canals are scary, modern techniques make them comfortable, predictable, and often easier than getting a filling. Whether you’re dealing with sensitivity, swelling, or sharp, lingering pain, endodontics can help you keep your natural tooth and avoid more serious problems down the line.

We’ll walk you through every step, explain why the tooth is hurting, and outline your options with complete honesty.
