\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, is a procedure that removes damaged or infected dental pulp to clean and disinfect the tooth canal, preventing the spread of bacteria.<\/p>

It is primarily performed due to deep decay, although it may also be necessary because of trauma, fractures, or dental wear. Common symptoms include severe pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, inflammation, and discomfort when chewing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
