What is Endodontics?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry focused on the treatment of diseases that affect the dental pulp,<\/span> also called the tooth nerve, and the surrounding tissues.<\/p>\n

When a tooth suffers a serious dental injury, whether due to deep cavities, trauma or fractures, the pulp can become damaged or infected.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
