Endodontics Clinic Description & Location

Description

Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with the tooth pulp and tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. The pulp (containing nerves, arterioles and venules as well as lymphatic tissue and fibrous tissue) can become diseased or injured and thus is unable to repair itself. The pulp then dies and endodontic treatment is required. General dentists may provide root canal therapy or they may refer difficult treatment cases to an endodontist for specialty care.

For more information on root canal treatment and other endodontic procedures, please visit American Association of Endodontists´ website: http://www.aae.org/patients/patientinfo/faqs/.
