Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal treatment, is the treatment of disease or infection found inside the tooth. The word endodontics comes from the Greek words “endo” and “odont” – literally meaning “inside tooth”. Endodontic treatment tries to salvage seriously infected teeth that would otherwise require extraction.
