Endodontics South London

Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on the study and practice of the biological aspects of the dental pulp and the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the dental pulp and periradicular tissues. Here's a closer look at what endodontics entails:

Core Aspects of Endodontics:

Endodontists are dental specialists who deal primarily with the dental pulp, which is the innermost soft tissue of a tooth containing blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. Their expertise includes:

  • Understanding the biology of the dental pulp in both healthy and diseased states.
  • Diagnosing dental conditions related to the pulp and periradicular tissues (tissues surrounding the tooth's roots).
  • Preventing dental pulp diseases and injuries.
  • Treating dental pulp and periradicular conditions, often through root canal therapy.

Advancements in Endodontics:

Endodontics has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, leading to improved dental treatments and patient care. These advancements have raised the quality of endodontic procedures and outcomes, contributing to overall oral health.

Effective endodontics treatment can also be provided by general dentists. Whether it's diagnosing the cause of tooth pain, performing root canal therapy, or addressing periradicular issues, endodontists play a crucial role in preserving natural teeth and alleviating dental discomfort.
