EndodonticsEndodontic treatment, commonly called "root canal," is a procedure for getting rid of an infection present in dental pulp, the soft tissue underlying the hard layer of the tooth. Dental pulp contains all of the nerves and blood vessels involved in tooth growth. Once the tooth is fully developed, the dental pulp is no longer necessary. The entire affected area can be removed without causing problems. Failure to treat this type of infection can lead to pain and eventually, to tooth extraction. It is therefore vitally important to obtain treatment as soon as possible. Fortunately, techniques are now available to effectively and painlessly treat this condition.
